Engineering and Management of Space Systems
An interdisciplinary double-degree Master’s programme in space systems engineering and management with international collaboration between Germany and Poland.
Best for:Best for STEM graduates with a background in Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, or Space Technology seeking an interdisciplinary, internationally oriented Master’s programme in space systems engineering and management.
Overview
The Engineering and Management of Space Systems (EMSS) Master’s programme equips students with essential systems engineering and management skills for planning, designing, and overseeing space missions. Offered jointly by Bremen University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and Gdańsk University of Technology (Poland), this double-degree programme spans three semesters: the first at Gdańsk Tech, the second at HSB Bremen, and the third dedicated to a Master’s thesis, often in collaboration with industry. The curriculum integrates theoretical systems engineering principles with practical projects, aligning with international standards like ECSS and INCOSE. Graduates gain expertise in space systems lifecycle management, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international project coordination, preparing them for careers in aerospace, engineering, and space technology industries.
