Aerospace Engineering is the future? Students highlight innovation, employability and competitive salaries

Sábado28 August 2026 at 07:00

Aerospace Engineering courses are growing in Portugal, attracting more and more students interested in the field. However, entry grades remain high, reflecting the competitiveness of these programs.

The University of Porto records the highest entry grade in the country for the third consecutive year, with 19.5 points. This value demonstrates the high demand and competitiveness for admission into these courses.

Students highlight three main factors that make Aerospace Engineering attractive: technological innovation, employability and competitive salaries offered in the job market after completing the course.

The combination of these elements means that, despite the high entry grades, many young people continue to choose this area as an academic and professional project, driving the growth of these courses in Portuguese universities.
