"After obtaining your Masters degree in Space Sciences and Applications your skills will include analytical and critical thinking, and also strong research skills with extensive Mathematics and Physics knowledge. Most students with a Master’s degree in space sciences pursue their career with a PhD in Space Physics, in France or abroad. Indeed, a PhD is mandatory for most scientific careers such as scientist in academic research, R&D engineer in research centres and in space agencies, data scientist in the industry, etc. Typical positions are researcher, project scientist and consultant. In all these positions your main asset is your ability to run projects and to solve complex problems requiring physical, mathematical, and computational skills, rather than being the expert in one narrow field. Statistics: 50% of the students pursue with a PhD and those who have good marks (> 12/20) have no problem in getting funded for that. After completing their PhD, less than 25% pursue with an academic career as the number of positions is limited. Most continue in space sciences, however, typically working in companies that provide digital solutions for satellite design or satellite data analysis. In recent years, a majority of PhD students have been hired for doing data science while staying in contact with advanced physical concepts"@en . "no data" . "FALSE" .
