The aerospace is of outstanding importance for the public image and perception of the Hanseatic city Bremen – the city of aviation and space flight. The University of Bremen with its Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) and the DLR Institute for Space Systems has become a worldwide renowned condensation point for space technology: for systems and subsystems (e.g. payloads and instruments) needed for Earth Observation Science, Telecommunication and Navigation. The novel master’s program in space engineering plays an important role in the further development of the Campus Bremen.
Following the present expertise in the area of space engineering and technology the executive committee of the faculty of production engineering (FB4) has agreed to apply for the establishment of a master’s program in space engineering.
The foreseen master’s program in space engineering is superior to generic aerospace studies offered by other universities. While the faculty of production engineering will host the interdisciplinary master’s studies, other faculties, such as the departments of physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, and computer science, support and complement the program. As a result, graduates from a variety of different areas will be able to choose to be trained to become experts in space engineering and related aeronautical fields.
