Relevant fields of previous studies
Applicants must hold a prior degree that provides a suitable foundation for admission to the Master’s Degree Programme in Space Technology and Environmental Remote Sensing. The degree should be in a relevant field, such as technology or the natural sciences—for example (but not limited to) astronomy, physics, geography, geology, geophysics, environmental studies, aerospace engineering, electronics or mechanical engineering, information technology, automation, or computer science. Owing to the programme’s multidisciplinary character, applicants with diverse academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The Basic Studies and Key Analysis Skills modules are designed to establish a shared baseline in the programme’s core topics. Further specialisation is pursued through thematic modules and the Master’s thesis, allowing students to build on their prior knowledge and interests and apply skills acquired in earlier studies.
Admission
Annually, up to 20 students are admitted to the Master's Degree Programme in Space Technology and Environmental Remote Sensing.
The decision of admission will be based on
The relevance of the applicant’s awarded degree(s)
the amount, relevance, and grades of the courses in the degree(s)
the language test result (see Language requirements)
the introduction video content (see Required attachments and certificates)
