Compulsory courses
Master Programme in Space Science and Technology

 In order to be eligible for the diploma in Master of Science in Space Technology with specializations in Atmospheric and Space Sciences, Space Technology and Instrumentation the student has to obtain 120 ECTS, including courses on the advanced level for at least 90 ECTS and a Master thesis for 30 ECTS. The program is based on collaboration between the following European universities: - Luleå University of Technology (LTU), Sweden - Cranfield University (CU), UK - Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), Czech Republic - Université Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier (UT3), France 

The first semester of the program is common for all students and takes place at Luleå University of Technology, Kiruna Space Campus.  The second semester is also given by LTU, but towards the end of the term students elect courses depending on planned specialization. During the second year the students are distributed among the partner universities, which offer different specializations depending on their fields of expertise within space science and technology. The election of specialization takes place during term two, with place allocation according to choice, merits and place availability. During the fourth semester students perform their Master thesis projects.

Planned specializations:  at LTU   -  Space Technology and Instrumentation  -  Atmospheric and Space Science  at the other partner universities   -  Dynamics and Control of Systems and Structures (CU) -  Space Automation and Control (CTU) -  Space Technique and Instrumentation (UT3) -  Astrophysics, Space Science and Planetology (UT3)

For admission to the degree project course entry requirements specified in the Course Syllabus must be completed. Information regarding the application- and admission process is given and ensured by the responsible department. All students within the educational program will be admitted to Master thesis course at LTU. All students that meet the requirements for graduation will receive Master of Science with a Major in Space Technology. Specializations given at LTU are included in the diploma. Courses and diploma requirements for specializations at the partner universities can be found at the respective partner universities or the program website http://www.spacemaster.eu/.  For students enrolled prior to 2018 the constellation of partner universities is different (i.e. includes Aalto university School of Science and Technology and third-country partner universities). Students enrolled 2017 and earlier are referred to the programme syllabus for study year 2017/18 (version 2016-10-03).
