Course Details

Objectives : The Specialized Masters in Development of Space Systems (DSS) completes the existing offer with training at the Bac+6 level, aimed at engineers or holders of a Masters, who have already graduated from fields such as electronics, computer science, materials or mechanics (non-exhaustive list) and who wish to acquire additional skills, in particular the systems, quality and project management aspects specific to the space sector.

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Admission requirements : Bac + 5 years
M1 + three years seniority

Prerequisites : Scientific training in the fields of electronics, IT, materials or mechanics (non-exhaustive list)

Acquired skills during the training : The activities may be carried out in space agencies, design offices, research centers, service providers, companies, manufacturers or start-ups. Each will provide support in project management and product development processes (design/production/validation of equipment, instruments, onboard and ground segment subsystems of space systems).

Due to the diversity of projects and actors brought together, space activities can cover a wide variety of fields in which specialists will bring their expertise. Three major disciplines are identified: Project Management, Product Assurance and Engineering.

Targeted careers : System engineering, expertise, design and AIT professions as:
o Framework of space agencies
o Executives at Primes du Spatial (Thalès Alenia Space, Airbus DS, OHB, Ariane Group, etc.)
o Managers at tier 1 and 2 subcontractors (Latécoère)
o Executives in engineering companies (EXPLEO)

Duration and terms : 1 year
