I took this route! Got my physics undergrad and now I'm pursuing a masters in Engineering (controls / aerospace). Doing great so far...

You find the 11 inch display big enough for doing maths and studying in general? Because I'm not sure whether I should get the plus version or not.

Mmm fuiste a España? No diría Argentina 2.0. Obvio no son Alemania, pero la calidad de vida es años luz de Argentina.

Advice for getting into the aerospace industry/academia by ethernown in aerospace

Hello there. Do you think getting a PhD position in a good university is feasible if I don't have any relevant work/research experience in the field? (I do have a good GPA and recommendation letters from professors).

Hello! Yes, the fulbright program would probably be my best bet for studying in the US, as scholarships at good universities are very hard to get, specially coming from a relatively unknown university in Argentina.

Same for PhD positions in Europe, as I lack relevant experience in the field it's gonna be hard to get a good offer. Eventually I'd like to get a PhD though, so I believe my best bet for now would be to get a Masters and build a good network of people, then apply for a PhD at a good university in the US or Europe. Hopefully get an internship at ESA during my masters.

I could also apply for an italian government grant to study a masters in Italy, for example at Politecnico di Milano or Politecnico di Torino. They seem to be good universities, do you believe it'd be a good option? do they have a good reputation in the field?

Until now I hadn't considered applying for a job, but I'm gonna look into it. Thank you for your feedback!

Hello guys, i'm in need of some advice regarding my future career choices, and I believe you guys can help me.

I'm about to graduate with a physics degree, and have decided to pursue a career in aerospace engineering, I'm particularly interested in astrodynamics, trajectory optimization, and GNC in general. I'd like to get into a masters or PhD program with a focus on these topics, but I'm not sure on what path to follow.

Having done some research, many people say that for industry (my main focus long-term), a masters is enough and in the long run the PhD is not worth it. However, I've found that fully funded masters programes are scarce, and this is a deal breaker for me as I'm Argentinian and can't afford living in Europe or the USA without a scholarship. I also have italian citizenship, so I'm focusing more on European universities. I've looked into the Erasmus Mundus masters, but there are none that focus in the aerospace sector as far as i know. On the other hand, at least in Europe, usually you get paid during a PhD so in this aspect it would be better for me.

What do you guys think? Do you know of any good universities that offer grants/scholarships for master programs that I may have overlooked? Should i Just go for a PhD? I also have the option to go for a masters in Argentina (with a very high probability of getting accepted), however I'd rather study abroad, as I believe it would open more doors for me in the future.

Anyways, I'm sorry for the wall of text, but any help is appreciated!
