Dear Students,
Welcome to Faculty of Aerospace Sciences of Tarsus University.
The Faculty of Aerospace Sciences was established in 2016. In the 2019-2020 academic year with its first students, it started to provide education with its professional academic staff who have international education and industry experience.
Aerospace Engineering is a special multidisciplinary science that works on designing, manufacturing, managing and controlling many advanced and complicated mechanical, electronic and optical systems that operate on earth, in the sky and in space. In this context, in the fields of Aerospace industry, which is fast growing especially in recent years in order to increase domestic production and reduce foreign dependency, we aim to educate and train individuals who will have gained competence at professional level, who can use their knowledge among disciplines, who can produce solutions to engineering problems with analytical approaches and express these solutions with software, and who share their knowledge and experience with the awareness and responsibility of protecting our national interests and increasing the welfare of our society.
With our academic and administrative staff, we undertake research activities via student-oriented high-level education and training. Students who study at our institution will benefit from the technological infrastructure under the consultancy of our young and dynamic academic staff, while also contributing to their social development by taking an active role in the activities of their students’ clubs and societies.
With social activities outside of the academic curriculum, with the Rocket Technologies Club (ROTEK) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Club (T-UAV), we support our students' attempts to performing what they learn, collaborating, sharing their knowledge, and lifelong learning. In addition, their vocational internships at Aerospace industry organizations will provide them with the opportunity to observe and experience their career preferences by integrating with the gains of Aerospace engineering education.
Our Alumni can work in the defence industry organizations like Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ - TAI), TUSAŞ Engine Industries Inc. (TEI), ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, HAVELSAN, Baykar, Vestel Defence Industries Inc., Kale Aero, Nurol BAE Systems Air Systems Inc., FNSS Defence Systems Inc., STM Inc. etc. and work as an engineer, manager, designer in aviation companies such as THY and Turkish Airlines Technic Inc. In addition to these, they can find career opportunities as researchers and academics in universities and research and development centres like TÜBİTAK-SAGE, TÜBİTAK-İLTAREN, TÜBİTAK-UZAY, NASA, ESA, etc.
We will be pleased that you join our Faculty of Aerospace Sciences to walk together for this national goal with the motivation of "The Future is in the Skies".
