Presentation
The University Diploma in Space Systems Development complements the existing offering with a postgraduate-level program aimed at engineers or Master's degree holders who have already graduated in fields such as electronics, computer science, materials or mechanics (non-exhaustive list) and who wish to acquire additional skills to meet the needs expressed above, particularly in the areas of systems, quality and project management specific to the space sector.
Objectives
The objective of the program is to enable graduates with a master's degree to train for careers in the space industry through a program covering the entire V-cycle, from mission analysis to assembly, integration, and testing. This coverage differs from other master's degree programs, which generally focus on expertise and systems engineering. It is perfectly in line with the approach taken by POLYTECH and the IUT, which advocate a balance between knowledge and know-how, highly valued by industrial employers.
