Turbomachinery Aeromechanical University Training (THRUST)

Overview

The Turbomachinery Aeromechanical University Training (THRUST) programme at KTH Royal Institute of Technology offers education of high international standard as well as cultural experience from at least two different countries and a double degree from two universities.

The programme is highly integrated, first of all regarding student and teacher mobility for certain common lectures, but also related to the extended use of remote teaching by the specialist teachers at all four universities, in conjunction with “face-to-face” and “virtual” interactive workshops and project courses. 

The programme offers a unique, modern and highly interactive learning material which enhances the student learning process. This, together with the “remote learning” aspects, will also allow for a substantial potential for already active industrial persons to participate in the programme as part of the life-long learning inside their respective companies. Given the nature of the subject of aeromechanics, multidisciplinary skills are fostered.

Career

The programme offers the students a worldwide unique education at a high academic level, involving researchers/teachers at three European and one US top universities in the area and prepares the students for direct industrial engagement. Furthermore, it paves the way for continued doctoral studies in this field.  

Graduates from the THRUST programme are spread all over the world working in large companies like Siemens, GE Aviation, GKN Aerospace, SpaceX, Numeca, Scania, Rolls-Royce, Ansaldo Energia, Safran Aero Engines, Safran Aero Boosters, Honda Aircraft Company and UTC Aerospace Systems.
