"The program \"Space Applications\" offers a master-degree study of the design and development of space applications. The study is conceived as an interdisciplinary association of electrical and mechanical engineering. Together with technical knowledge, students become familiar with fundamentals of project management and team work. A practical education in international companies and organizations, which are active in research and exploitation of space, in an important part of the education. The graduates gain a professional basis for an individual and team research, development and management. The study is aimed to a complex preparation of engineers for international companies and organizations. Moreover, a high-quality basis for consecutive doctoral studies at an arbitrary university is another objective. Therefore, the education is fully provided in English.\n\nGRADUATE PROFILE\n\nThe graduate of the study program \"Space Applications\" will acquire basic knowledge in the theoretical and engineering disciplines of space technology.
