Dissertations

Production processes, materials, structural mechanics, performance—although we don’t turn everything into a dissertation, a lot of the things we work on are perfect topics for one. Why not for yours?
If you are a specialist in these areas or would like to become one, have excellent academic records and enjoy doing research and working independently, the only other thing you need is a love of aviation and passion for your dissertation topic.
We are always looking for doctoral candidates who combine technical expertise with visionary determination. It will take both to reimagine the aviation of the future.
We offer excellent supervision, an outstanding environment in which to write your dissertation embedded at MTU, a contract for a limited term of four years and outstanding prospects of hiring after you complete your doctorate.
