Interdisciplinary Space Master

Overview

The Interdisciplinary Space Master programme at the University of Luxembourg was especially designed with this double focus in mind – a unique feature setting it apart from other courses.

Groundbreaking innovations in satellite technology, space exploration and exploitation have paved the way for a greater-than-ever commercial use of space. To thrive, the commercial space sector requires professionals able to manage both the technical and the business side of space missions and operations.
