Master of Science in Space Engineering
Prepare for a career in aerospace with a specialised MSc in cutting-edge space technologies at Germany’s leading space research hub.
Best for:Best for engineering graduates with a strong foundation in mechanical/aerospace engineering or applied physics, seeking to specialise in space technology and launch their careers in the aerospace industry.
Overview
The Master of Science in Space Engineering at the University of Bremen offers a four-semester programme designed to equip students with advanced theoretical and practical knowledge in modern space technologies. Located in a vibrant aerospace ecosystem, this interdisciplinary programme integrates core modules in thermofluid dynamics, spaceflight mechanics, and satellite systems, alongside elective courses tailored to specialisations like human space exploration, space robotics, and sustainability in space applications. Students will complete a project and a Master’s thesis, with all instruction delivered in English. Admission requires a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical/aerospace engineering or applied physics, 24 credits in aeronautical/astronautical engineering, and proficiency in English at C1 level. An online entrance exam covering engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics is mandatory.
