Master Genie Mecanique — Conception en Aéronautique

Tuition fees are 288 USD per year.

The Master Génie mécanique — Conception en Aéronautique, offered by Université de Toulouse in Toulouse Cedex 9, France, is a two-year mechanical engineering program taught in French with a focus on design within the aeronautics industry. As a discipline, mechanical engineering covers how mechanical systems and components are designed, analyzed, and manufactured, and this specialization applies that training to the design of aircraft structures and parts. Coursework in an aeronautics design track typically includes mechanical design methods, computer-aided design tools, materials selection, structural analysis, and manufacturing processes relevant to aerospace components. Students generally study how design choices affect weight, strength, safety, and manufacturability in aircraft structures, alongside broader mechanical engineering subjects such as thermodynamics and mechanics of materials. Project-based work is common in design-oriented programs, with students working through design problems similar to those faced by engineers in aerospace manufacturing. Graduates typically move into design engineering roles within aircraft manufacturers, equipment suppliers, or engineering service companies, working on the design of structural components, mechanical systems, or manufacturing tooling for aerospace applications. Because Toulouse is a center of the French aeronautics industry, graduates from programs based there often have access to nearby employers in aircraft and aerospace equipment manufacturing, though the design skills developed also transfer to other engineering sectors such as automotive or industrial equipment. Taught in French, the program begins in September and carries a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, suiting students with a mechanical engineering background who want to specialize in the design side of aeronautical engineering.
