MSc Aerospace Engineering
Program Overview
Program Overview
The Space MSc track is offered to graduates looking for an academic program that prepares them well for an exciting career in the international space sector. The master curriculum covers the full life cycle of space missions, from conceptual design to implementation and utilization. This track focuses on space engineering, spaceflight dynamics, and planetary exploration.
What You Will Learn
Astronautics is quite different from aeronautics because each space mission is uniquely designed to perform a specific task related to its operational or scientific objectives. This requires an "end-to-end" approach where the objectives drive the design of the mission and data processing is an integral part of the mission. Within this track, you are offered opportunities to participate in ongoing engineering and scientific projects at the participating chairs.
The objective of this track is to develop skills to carry out an engineering or research project independently and individually. This will be achieved by a highly focused MSc thesis project under strict supervision. In addition, you will acquire broad knowledge in the field of space and its applications. On the one hand, you will become an all-round space professional, but on the other hand, you will acquire generic skills that enable you to pursue a career in a broad spectrum of industrial and research environments.
