MSc in Aerospace System - Navigation and Telecommunications

The Master of Science (MSc) in ASNAT is a 2-year program offering advanced and scientific courses in Satellite-based Positioning and Space Telecommunications.

Developed with the support of the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency, the MSc in ASNAT was created in the frame of SESAR project (Single European Sky ATM Research), which aims at developing a new generation of air traffic management system capable of ensuring the safety and fluidity of air transport worldwide over the next 30 years, Within this program, ENAC is contributing to research and training of future experts for the improvement of ATM infrastructure.

Recently, GNSS has gained a lot of attention worldwide due to a significant increase in the applications using GPS or other providers for positioning:

• leisure
• farming
• aeronautics
• location-based services, etc.

This international enthusiasm is confirmed by the worldwide development of other global and regional satellite-based navigation systems in Europe, US, China, Russia, India, and Japan, creating a strong need for experts in this field job.

Scope of this Master's degree

The objective of this MSc ASNAT is to provide students with advanced skills and knowledge in the field of GNSS (GPS, Galileo, inertial navigation, integrity monitoring, etc.) and its related applications to prepare them for entering the highly dynamic GNSS and GNSS -dependent industry. In addition, the students will also receive training in telecommunications, as both fields are strongly complementary.

This Master of Science on GPS, Galileo, Glonass, Beidou, and technology will provide students with a head start in the evolving and growing market of satellite-based navigation and telecommunications. The graduate students will have the ability to enter large companies, SMEs, national institutions, and research laboratories.

A European Partnership

This MSc in ASNAT was developed with the support of the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency, GSA (7th Framework Program under grant agreement no. 248016).

Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile, ENAC

ENAC was founded in 1949 in Paris-Orly and moved to Toulouse in 1968.

It merged with the SEFA (Service d’Exploitation de la Formation Aéronautique) on January 1, 2011. The «Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile» (ENAC) is a unique example: it is the only aviation-oriented university in France and in Europe offering a wide and complete panel of aeronautics-oriented training programs and activities, serving the aeronautical world, particularly the air transport sector.

The ENAC university is made up of:

• 2,000 students in 25 various training courses: engineer, master, Ph.D., air transport pilot, air traffic controller, etc.,
• 7,500 trainees each year in 400 continuing education programs or advanced training courses,
• 10 research labs,
• International activities: ENAC welcomes hundreds of international students and trainees from the 5 continents each year,
• An education team has an exceptional amount of professional skills and know-how,
• High-level training material associated with its multidisciplinary activities: ATC simulators, flight simulators, 130 aircraft, laboratories for electronics, telecommunications, GNSS, UAVs, data processing, aerodynamics, languages, etc.

Through all these activities, the ENAC university is committed to meeting the requirements of the aeronautical field, in which both private and public actors are involved, either in France or abroad.

In more than 60 years, with 20,000 alumni, ENAC has acquired recognition, in France and abroad, of all the partners belonging to the wide range of its activities.

Today, thanks to the acknowledged skills of its teachers, searchers, students, trainees, and its whole staff, the ENAC university is looking to strengthen its influence throughout the world, being always committed in its field of excellence: aeronautics.
