About the Program

The Master's degree programme "Engineering and Management of Space Systems" (EMSS) teaches essential systems engineering and management skills required for the planning, design, implementation and management of space missions including all necessary systems/facilities (Flight System, Ground System & Test Facilities, Launch System) under consideration of the current standards of the European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It is a joint interdisciplinary international double degree Master's degree programme established as a cooperation between Hochschule Bremen (HSB) – City University of Applied Sciences, Germany, and Gdańsk University of Technology (Gdańsk Tech), Poland. The first semester (summer semester) is conducted at Gdańsk Tech, the second semester (winter semester) at HSB, and the third semester is reserved for the master's thesis and can be done at one of both universities, usually in cooperation with industry. The curriculum is oriented to the international systems engineering certification standards of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and its German Chapter, Gesellschaft für Systems Engineering (GfSE). The program offers three specialization options: Computer Science (CS), Electronics Engineering (EE), and Space Technologies (ST). To complete the program with a specialization, students must choose appropriate modules within the categories "Special Mandatory Modules" and "Elective Modules". The program requires 90 ECTS credits for successful completion. The examination regulations for this program were approved on March 7, 2024 and came into effect on April 1, 2024.
