    Alumnus

    «Enrolling in the UMILES Drone Pilot Master’s program was the best decision I have made since I got started in the world of drones.

    The fact that the master’s is in-person and lasts an entire academic year allowed me to gain an in-depth understanding of this world and its various professional applications. It all comes with a good theory/practice balance, and best of all, it allowed me to meet people who share the same interest in drones as I do.»
