Overview

The Centre of Aerospace and Energy Studies(SOES) at GD Goenka University is a cutting-edge academic and research hub committed to shaping the engineers, innovators, researchers, and leaders of tomorrow in two critical fields: Aerospace and Energy. With ambitious curricula, strong international partnerships, and hands-on experiences built into every programme, the Centre addresses both India’s growing aerospace aspirations and the urgent global challenges of sustainable and reliable energy.
What makes the Centre of Aerospace and Energy Studies(SOES) at GD Goenka University truly unique is its integration of two of the most strategically vital domains of the 21st century—aerospace and energy—under one umbrella. By combining advanced programmes in aviation, space technology, and defense with cutting-edge specialisations in renewable and nuclear energy, the Centre creates a rare interdisciplinary ecosystem where future pilots, aerospace engineers, and energy innovators learn side by side. This dual focus not only reflects India’s national priorities in aerospace advancement and sustainable energy security, but also equips students with global exposure, industry-relevant skills, and a mindset to solve the world’s most pressing technological challenges.
Why Choose the Centre?
- Holistic Education & Early Hands-on Experience: From laboratory work, projects, and specialisations, students are exposed early on to real engineering challenges.
- Global Exposure: Many programmes involve components abroad – internships, partner universities, or flight schools – helping students cultivate international perspectives and networks.
- Industry Relevance: Both departments align curricula to emerging demands: aerospace/defense technology, pilot training, computational fluid dynamics; and in energy: renewables, nuclear, energy systems, sustainability.
- Research & Innovation: PhD programmes and specialised master’s tracks ensure that students and faculty contribute to cutting-edge R&D; topics of thesis and projects reflect both global challenges and national priorities.
Who Should Enrol / Stakeholders’ Interests
- Prospective Students seeking careers in aviation, space, defense, energy sector, or academia.
- Industry & Employers looking for well-trained engineers with both theory and practice, global exposure, and specialisation in high-growth areas.
- Research Community interested in collaboration in aerospace technologies, CFD, UAVs, satellite and spacecraft systems, energy materials, renewable and nuclear technologies.
- Government / Policy Makers who value training of talent to support India’s strategy in energy transition, clean energy, energy security, and aerospace/defense self-reliance.
