What attracted you to a MSc in Aerospace engineering? 
For me, Aerospace Engineering was a quite easy choice. To be honest, it was the only BSc that interested me. Throughout by BSc in Barcelona, I realized that this was the right choice. Therefore, I wanted to also pursue a MSc in Aerospace Engineering. 

How did you make your MSc selection? 
I wanted to go abroad for my MSc, so I started looking at different universities outside of Spain. Most of my information came from the website, as well as people that I knew where studying in Delft. I knew I wanted to focus on structures and materials, so the TU Delft's ASM MSc track was ideal for me. 
What attracted you to Structures & Materials? 
It was the aspect that I enjoyed most during my BSc in Aerospace Engineering. So again, an easy choice. 

What is your overall experience with your MSc in AE? 
I really enjoy the international environment. This is something that I did not experience before in Spain. Another thing I like, is the fact that you are free to choose electives and tailor your MSc to your interests. 

What do you like most about your MSc in AE? 
If I must choose 1 aspect, it would be the mandatory internship. This was something that I missed during my BSc. 

What is a golden tip you would give to upcoming MSc students? 
There are many opportunities here to get involved in extracurricular activities like teaching assistant jobs or student projects. Explore and embrace them.
