Master Maintenance Aeronautique — Systèmes embarqués

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

Master Maintenance Aéronautique, specializing in Systèmes embarqués (Embedded Systems), is offered by Université de Bordeaux at its campus in Mérignac, France. Embedded systems are the specialized computer hardware and software built directly into aircraft to control and monitor functions such as navigation, flight control, engine management, and safety systems. Students in this specialization typically study electronics, computer architecture, real-time software design, sensor and control systems, and the methods used to test and validate embedded systems against strict aviation safety standards. Coursework often combines programming and electronics instruction with hands-on work on the kind of embedded hardware found in aircraft systems, along with training in the regulatory requirements that govern how such systems are certified and maintained. This field sits at the intersection of aeronautical maintenance and applied computer engineering, since modern aircraft increasingly depend on embedded electronics for functions once handled by purely mechanical systems. Graduates commonly pursue careers as embedded systems technicians or engineers, avionics and systems maintenance specialists, or roles in the design, testing, and certification of aircraft electronic systems, working for airlines, maintenance organizations, or aircraft and equipment manufacturers. The degree spans two years and is expected to begin in September. All coursework is taught in French, so applicants need solid French-language skills to follow technical material. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR, in line with the standard tuition rate applied to master's programs at French public universities. Université de Bordeaux delivers this program from its Mérignac site, part of the aeronautical industry cluster near Bordeaux in southwestern France.
