A graduate of the second-cycle Space Technologies programme will possess advanced interdisciplinary skills tailored to the demands of the modern space sector. Building on their first-cycle education, students gain expertise in key areas such as spacecraft design, mission planning, satellite systems, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics in space applications.

The programme offers three specialized pathways to prepare graduates for specific challenges within the space sector:

„Upstream” – focuses on the construction and launch of objects into space. Students in this specialization delve into spacecraft engineering, propulsion systems, mission planning, and launch technologies, equipping them to contribute to the design, development, and deployment of space systems.

„Downstream” – emphasizes data processing and communication with devices in space. This pathway develops expertise in satellite-based Earth observation, navigation, remote sensing, and space-based communication systems. Graduates are equipped to harness data collected from space for a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring, urban planning, and advanced analytics.

„Biomedical” – dedicated to the application of biomedical technologies in space. This specialization explores topics such as astrobiology, space medicine, and the engineering of biomedical devices for use in extraterrestrial environments. Students gain the skills to develop solutions addressing the challenges of human health and survival in space, such as the effects of microgravity, radiation exposure, and life support system design.

Graduates are well-prepared to pursue careers in the rapidly expanding space industry, taking on roles in satellite development, mission analysis, biomedical engineering, and space system operations. They are also equipped to work in R&D positions at leading aerospace companies, biotechnology firms, research institutions, and government agencies. Companies specializing in Earth observation, navigation systems, space medicine, and advanced manufacturing processes are among the many potential employers.

This programme also provides a strong foundation for doctoral studies, enabling graduates to contribute to innovative research projects in fields such as space exploration, planetary sciences, biomedical technologies, and space-related applications. With its emphasis on hands-on experience, collaboration, and cutting-edge problem-solving, the Space Technologies programme ensures that graduates are highly valued across both the private and public sectors in the global space economy.
