About the Program
Come and shape the new Space Era! With our MSc. Space in Engineering you will be equipped with broad theoretical and practical knowledge in modern space technologies, while being able to specialize in fields like human space exploration, space robotics or sustainability in space applications (and more!). Bremen hosts a vibrant ecosystem of aerospace companies and institutes which will boost your career start. The program is offered in two variants: MSc SpE I (3 semesters, 90 CP) and MSc SpE II (4 semesters, 120 CP). In the first two semesters, you will acquire solid foundations in the key disciplines. For SpE II students, foundation courses (30 CP) include Applied Mathematical Methods and Data Analysis, Atmospheric Physics, Communication Technologies for Space, Control Theory, Science and Exploration Missions, and Space Electronics. Compulsory modules (36 CP) cover Space Flight Theory, Space Environment and Testing, Satellite Systems, and Subsystems. In the third and fourth semester, a broad portfolio of elective courses (12 CP), a project and the Master's thesis (30 CP) will allow you to shape your individual curriculum. A requirement for admission is an online entrance exam covering engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. The test is held between one and two weeks after the application deadline; further information will be provided upon application.
