Overview
The Space Sciences and Applications programme from University of Orleans covers a wide range of space-related fields including radio-astrophysics, heliospheric physics, solar-terrestrial science and space weather, satellite propulsion, nanosatelites and space-based systems engineering.
Opportunities
SSA Students will be in contact with scientists from several laboratories and facilities that carry out cutting-edge research in space science (LPC2E), in plasma propulsion (ICARE), in radioastronomy (Nançay radio-observatory) to name a few. Students will learn about and understand our space environment. They will also be involved in the exploitation of data from major space missions and from radioastronomy facilities. Most research teams are actively involved in space missions such as ESA’s Solar Orbiter and BepiColombo, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, CNES’ Taranis, and more.

Other requirements
General requirements
- Enrollment in SSA is possible for students who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in Physics and have successfully completed at least one year in a Master in Physics (or equivalent, e.g. engineering school) with excellent academic results.
- The dedicated teaching programme aims to bridge the gap between different students' backgrounds. It does not matter whether your initial training had a stronger focus on one particular field of Physics as long as you have a solid training that covers all the major fields of modern Physics, including Computational Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Statistical Physics, etc. Plasma physics and Astrophysics are an asset but are not mandatory.
- In addition, a proficiency in English (B2 level) is required.
