Master Programme in Space Science and Technology
Description
During the first year of the program you will acquire knowledge about physical processes in planetary and interplanetary environments; spacecraft orbits, attitudes, subsystems and communication aspects; space borne scientific instrumentation and polar atmosphere phenomena.
Based on your choice, merits, and place availability you will then, during the secound year, further your studies within one of the specialisms offered by our planned partner universities:
- Dynamics and Control of Systems and Structures - Cranfield University,
- Space Automation and Control - Czech Technical University in Prague,
- Space Technique and Instrumentation; or Astrophysics, Space Science and Planetology - Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier,
- Atmospheric and Space Science; or Space Technology and Instrumentation - Luleå University of Technology.
Education in Sweden is free of charge for students from within the EU/EEA and Switzerland. However, participation in the program will incur other costs such as accommodation expenses, living allowance, travel costs, and tuition fees as applicable at respective international partner university. The students are solely liable to finding their own financial means to cover these and other costs associated with participation in this program.
Labour market
The main advantage of SpaceMaster is ‘broadened horizons’. Our alumni work with space research, technology and engineering. They are employed by international space organisations, companies and research organisation, e.g. the European Space Agency, French Space Agency, German Space Agency, Airbus, OHB Sweden and Swedish Institute of Space Physics. The education is an excellent foundation for students aiming at an academic research career.
