How you'll learn

100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is OpenFisca, Catala, Camunda, Decidim, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The assignments are based on real procedures: preparing a regulatory impact analysis report, designing an urban regulatory sandbox and executable coding of a regulatory requirement. Assessment is continuous per module, plus the final integrative project.

Accredited laboratories(EN ISO/IEC 17025) with rotor test bench, EMC/Lightning pre-compliance, HIL/SIL, vibration/acoustics.
Evidence-oriented Master's Thesis:safety case, test plan, compliance dossier and operational limits.
Industry mentoring:lecturers with a track record in training, , eVTOL/UAM and flight test.
Flexible format(hybrid/online), international cohorts and support from SEIUM Career Services.
Ethics and safety:a safety-by-design approach, with cyber-OT, DIH and compliance as core pillars.
