Earth Oriented Space Science and Technology (ESPACE) is an international, interdisciplinary Master’s program which combines space engineering with satellite applications related to Earth system science, remote sensing and navigation. This combination of disciplines distinguishes ESPACE from other Master’s programs in related fields.ESPACE benefits from and utilizes its location in Munich with the city’s unique concentration of expertise related to space science and technology. The ESPACE Master’s program is coordinated at the TUM with excellent teaching staff from
The program is conducted entirely in English and is geared towards students with a Bachelor or diploma in science or engineering, e.g. Aerospace or Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Informatics, Geodesy, Geophysics, etc.
- 3 universities (the TUM and Ludwig-Maximilian University, both in Germany’s top three ranked universities, and the University of the Federal Armed Forces)
- Research institutions (such as the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the German Geodetic Research Institute (DGFI)
- Space industry (such as EADS and Kayser-Threde —companies leading in European space industry)
ESPACE Alumni can be best described as satellite application engineers, now working or doing PhD studies in national space agencies, space industry, research institutions, or universities.
