Second Year Master Thesis

Thesis work valued at a minimum of 30 ECTS during Thesis work valued at a minimum of 30 ECTS during Semester 4 (and quite often part of Semester 3)

Second Year Master Thesis

Thesis work at CU can be undertaken on campus,

in association with UK Space industry (Astrium, in association with UK Space industry (Astrium, Vega, ESA,…), at the laboratory of the research councils or in collaboration with other universities.

Second Year Master Thesis

Thesis work at CTU, HUT and JMUW can be

performed around the laboratories at the

universities and/or in Space related research universities and/or in Space related research

projects with connection to the universities

Second Year Master Thesis

Thesis work at LTU can be performed around the facilities in the Esrange Base in Lapland area, facilities in the Esrange Base in Lapland area, Kiruna, in close collaboration with the European Space Agency ESA and other Space Agencies. Thesis work will also be done at the Swedish Institute for Space Physics (IRF) located on Campus and at NEAT-the North European Test Range at Vidsel.

Second Year Master Thesis

Thesis work at UPS in France can be performed in

Toulouse which benefits from a large support in

industry and research institutions. For instance industry and research institutions. For instance

applied thesis could be realised in industries like

ALCATEL SPACE or CNES (Centre National des

Etudes Spatiales).

Research thesis could be realised in the laboratories

belonging to Observatoire Midi Pyrénées.

Second Year Master Thesis
