What is MSE?
International full-time Master’s programme
MSE (Master of Space Engineering) is an international full-time Master’s programme in space engineering that starts at Technische Universität Berlin in April each year. The aim of the programme is to educate systems engineers equipped to become leaders in the space industry.
At the Chair of Space Technology of TU Berlin
The course is offered by the Chair of Space Technology at Technische Universität Berlin and combines excellent teaching in space technology with project management and intercultural skills. The entire programme, over four semesters, is taught in English.
Highly project-oriented Master’s programme
The Master’s programme which comprises 120 credit points in total is highly project-oriented and designed to prepare students for the requirements of the global space industry. Students have the chance to be involved in challenging satellite projects, working within intercultural teams. Especially, they benefit from the worldwide leading expertise and network of TU Berlin in the field of small satellites. Interdisciplinary subjects, such as project management, communications training, entrepreneurship and innovation management complement the curriculum.
Internship experience in the European space industry
Furthermore, the opportunity to gain internship experience in the European space industry will be provided. After graduation, students are equipped with skills, experience, and a strong network to boost their space career either in Europe, in their home country or anywhere else.
Why study space engineering?
Space industry
The global space market is experiencing continuous growth since space technology and business is one of the key fields of national competence and economic growth.
Growth factors
The factors for growth can be summarized as follows:
- Developing new technologies which enable new opportunities for e.g. small satellites
