Overview

The space industry is experiencing a period of massive growth and diversification, both in terms of technological advancements and market dynamics. The Specialised Master's programme in Space Systems offers students the opportunity to enter this dynamic environment.

This programme places particular value on diversity of educational background, to combine a strong teaching of engineering skills with a deep understanding of scientific and economic motivations of space exploration. Students will learn together in three dedicated core courses, while elective courses include all of earth and planetary science, physics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and geodesy. Students will use the skills acquired in the first two semesters for an extended case study of a space mission, spacecraft or an instrument in space, evaluated by domain experts from ETH, space agencies and industry to become accustomed to the formal review process of space projects.
