Presentation
The Space Systems Development DU completes the existing range of courses with a Bac+6 level, aimed at engineers or Master's degree holders who have already graduated in fields such as electronics, IT, materials or mechanics (non-exhaustive list), and who wish to acquire the additional skills needed to meet the needs expressed above, and in particular the systems, quality and project management aspects specific to the space sector.
Objectives
The aim of the program is to enable graduates with 5 years of higher education to train for careers in the space industry, through training covering the entire V cycle from mission analysis to assembly, integration and testing. This coverage stands out from the other Bac+6 courses generally offered, which focus on expertise and systems engineering. It is perfectly in line with the approach shared by POLYTECH and the IUT, which advocates a fair balance between knowledge and know-how, much appreciated by industrial employers.
