Satellite Technology

The aero­space sector is a very re­search-inten­sive field that offers attrac­tive jobs for highly quali­fied stu­dents. The Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Satel­lite Tech­nolo­gy” focus­es on inter­disci­plinary space sys­tems engi­neer­ing skills. Se­lected excel­lent stu­dents are inten­sively sup­ported and trained for chal­leng­ing, inter­disci­plinary tasks in space sys­tems devel­op­ment with special appli­cation to Earth obser­vation and tele­com­muni­cation.

The ob­jective of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram “Satel­lite Tech­nolo­gy“ is ena­bling stu­dents to work on the reali­zation of space mis­sions through its inter­disci­plinary curric­ulum and a close coop­eration with nearly all Bavar­ian space ex­perts in ac­adem­ia, re­search and indus­try. This re­quires com­peten­cies in com­puter sci­ence, math­emat­ics, geo­sci­ences, con­trol engi­neer­ing, me­chani­cal engi­neer­ing, mate­rials sci­ences, phys­ics, com­muni­cation and elec­trical engi­neer­ing. It is Würz­burg’s speci­ality to focus on elec­tronics and com­puter sci­ence meth­ods rather than tradi­tional fields such as me­chani­cal engi­neer­ing. Relat­ed adap­tive space sys­tems are very much in de­mand in re­search and indus­try envi­ron­ments, offer­ing excel­lent job pro­spects for our gradu­ates in the next-generation space indus­try.
