Course Details

Objectives: ISU offers a Master of Science MSc in Space Studies, accredited by the Accreditation Agency for Study Programs in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics (ASIIN e.V.) and aligned to Level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework for Life-long Learning (EQF LLL). The program provides graduates with critical knowledge at the interface of all space disciplines so that they can analyze a complex problem in all its dimensions. Given the increasing impact of the NewSpace sector, special emphasis is given to entrepreneurial aspects in the space sector, covering the creation and financing of space start-ups as well as a solid knowledge of space project management techniques.

Throughout the program, group assignments, teamwork, and a comprehensive Team Project educate the students by example, on how to operate in complex and diverse professional teams. Alumni are able to integrate knowledge from different fields to address the wide-ranging projects and challenges of the space sector, and work both independently and in a team, within an international and/or interdisciplinary environment.

The MSc Space Studies:
- supports students who want to pursue a space career through ISU’s worldwide network of space organizations
