Students will delve into subjects like geodesy, mechanical and electrical engineering, physics, informatics, and geosciences. This interdisciplinary approach ensures a comprehensive understanding that transcends traditional engineering boundaries. The program is designed to equip students with the skills needed to navigate and innovate within the realms of space technology and satellite data utilization. By combining technical knowledge with practical applications, ESPACE prepares graduates for a dynamic and evolving field.

Application Requirements

Language Requirements

Students must submit proof of competence in English (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) with a minimum score of 6.5 (IELTS) or 88 (TOEFL Internet based testing) before they can be admitted to the program

The aptitude assessment process is based on the submitted documents. In addition to the content of the degree held (natural or engineering science subject), one particular point of focus is to check whether the competencies gained in the fields of mathematics, physics and informatics are equivalent to those skills gained in a natural or engineering science Bachelor’s degree taken at the TUM. Students must submit proof of competence in English (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) with a minimum score of 6.5 (IELTS) or 88 (TOEFL Internet based testing) before they can be admitted to the program. A letter of motivation, and an essay on a scientific subject relevant to the general scope of the degree program need to be submitted together with the application documents.
