Is this degree for you?

Space planes, autonomous aircraft, the Hyperloop. Want to be part of the next big shift in how the world moves? In the Aerospace Engineering degree program at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), you’ll discover how flight and rocket power work so you can design and build the vehicles and systems of the future. 

Combine engineering fundamentals like calculus and physics with advanced topics like aerospace design and flight mechanics, across our 24 specialized aerospace labs and facilities. Streams in Aircraft, Spacecraft or Avionics allow you to customize your degree to your interests, and you’ll have a final-year team project where you design a solution for a real-world challenge and present it directly to industry experts. Active learning experiences alongside major global clients like Bombardier and Collins Aerospace give you practical opportunities to enhance your knowledge.
