Description
Earth observation satellites
help us better understand and monitor our environment. Today, researchers
within climatology, oceanography, meteorology as well as national agencies and
logistics companies are all dependent on up-to-date satellite data. Design,
development and data analysis of respective satellite missions require experts
with knowledge not only in spacecraft design and orbit mechanics but also in
satellite applications, as well as Earth system science, remote sensing
and navigation. From an educational point of
view, this diversity is a challenge. Classical university programs cover parts
of this spectrum in different disciplines. These are aerospace engineering,
electronic engineering or geodesy - just to mention a few - yet there is hardly
any connection between these parts.
Therefore several institutions
in and around Munich decided to combine their expertise and set up a graduate
program with the aim of educating satellite application engineers. The result is the ESPACE Master's
program, established in 2005.
ESPACE is coordinated at
Technische Universität München (TUM) in cooperation with Ludwig-Maximilian
University, University of the Federal Armed Forces and the German Aerospace
Center (DLR). The ESPACE Master's program combines spacecraft technology and
orbit mechanics with applications in Earth system science, navigation and
remote sensing.The program is well situated in Munich, which offers an ideal
environment with its unique concentration of know-how related to satellite- and
space science and technology in industry, research institutions and
universities.
Contents
The first year of the programme
covers foundations of space engineering and science as well as an introduction
to remote sensing, Earth system sciences and navigation.
The 3rd term allows the students to specialize in either Earth System Science or Remote Sensing or Navigation and Positioning.
The 4th and last term will be devoted to a master's thesis.

Description
The Master's Degree Programme
in Space Sciences is a new programme at the University of Helsinki, initiated
in the autumn term of 2007. It is organized by the Department of Physics. The
goal of the programme is to educate students with outstanding skills needed
both in post-graduate studies and in many other, often international, careers
in space sciences or related fields.
Each student has a personal
study plan that can emphasize experimental or observational work, methods for
data-analysis, or theoretical science. The study plan includes fundamental
courses and a number of special items. These may be selected from an extensive
menu, including lecture courses, laboratory exercises, observational work,
data-analysis, or computer simulations. The student can also include in his/her
personal study plan courses in space technology and remote sensing at the Aalto
University. While the individual study plans may be different, all students
participate in joint seminars, where they report on topics which they have
studied themselves. The goal is to complete the Master's Programme in two
academic years.
During the last semester of the
programme the student writes a Master's Thesis. Its topic is closely tied with
state-of-the-art research in Astronomy or Space Physics, which may be related
with ongoing research projects of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) or
the European Space Agency (ESA), or other international space research
programmes. In addition to the University departments, the Space Research and
Remote Sensing Units of the Finnish Meteorological Institute provide
supervision and challenging Master's thesis topics for the students. Often the
thesis topic is based on work that the student has started as a summer trainee
between the first and second year of the programme.
Contents
The Master's degree programme
in Space Sciences consists of 120 ECTS-compatible credits leading to a Master
of Science degree. The target schedule for completing the degree is two years,
and the language of the degree programme is English.
The degree consists of three main parts:
The degree consists of three main parts:
·
Major subject studies (minimum 80 credits)
·
Minor subject studies (10-38 credits)
·
Other studies (2-20 credits)
Students are required to make a
personal study plan (HOPS) as part of their MSc degree.
Studies in space sciences
consist of lectures, seminars, practical exercises and homework exercises.
Lecture courses
Besides lectures, the lecture
courses typically contain exercise sessions where solutions to homework problems
are discussed. The students are expected to spend at least twice the time they
use for lectures and exercises to study the course material and solve exercise
problems. Passing a lecture course usually requires completion of a sufficient
number of exercises and passing the course exam. The exams are in most cases
written but also oral exams take place.
Laboratory exercises and participation in observational work
Depending on the personal study
plan, some part of the studies can involve laboratory exercises or practical
work with actual observations in local laboratories, at astronomical
observatories, or in a laboratory of a collaborating institute, e.g. the
Finnish Meteorological Institute. After completing the exercise or
observations, the student must deliver a written report of the work. The
results can also be used as material for the seminars.
Seminars
The student must participate in
the seminar series of the Programme during at least two semesters. Each student
is required to give at least one presentation and deliver a written seminar
paper and actively participate in the discussions during each semester to
obtain the required 10 credits. Grading is based on the oral presentation,
participation in discussions and the written paper. Seminars usually meet once
during the whole semester. Students are required to be present during at least
3/4 of the weekly meetings.
Registration for the courses and examinations
Students register for courses
and separate examinations offered by the University of Helsinki according to
the registration practices in the department organizing the course. Usually the
registration takes place at the start of a lecture series.
Advanced internship
The degree includes an
obligatory advanced internship phase. In practice this means a period of work
in a research group or in a company active in a space science related field.
The aim of the internship is to familiarize the student with real-world space
research and researchers. A recommendable procedure to fulfill this requirement
is to get a summer trainee position in a space science related laboratory
during the summer between the first and second year of studies. This period can
also lay the background to the student's Master's thesis during the second year
of studies. The internship position is agreed on with the student counsellor as
a part of the study plan and the Programme will assist the students to find
appropriate positions. Some available positions for the internship will be
announced on the Programme's web page.
Grading
All courses are graded either
on the six-step scale 0-5 or the two-step scale fail/pass. On the former scale
of UH, the lowest passing grade is 1/5, for which the student usually needs to
get about 45 % of the maximum points. To get the highest grade 5/5, the student
usually needs about 85 % of the maximum points. These limits are, however,
indicative only.
Teaching language
The teaching language in the
Programme is English.
Master's thesis
The Master's thesis is the
final thesis done independently by the student for the MSc degree. The extent
of the thesis is 40 credits. The thesis is written during the second year of
studies.
The topic of the thesis is
agreed upon with a professor of the Programme. Usually the topic is related to
research conducted at the participating departments or at a collaborating space
research group either in Finland or abroad.
While working on the Master's
thesis, the student is expected to participate in the seminar series of the
Programme and present the research plan and the progress in the seminar.
Requirements
The Master's Degree Programme in Space
Sciences is open to applicants who
·
have completed an
appropriate Bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree in Finland or abroad
·
are sufficiently
proficient in English.
In particular, qualifying degrees include
Bachelor's degrees in physics, geophysics, meteorology, theoretical physics and
astronomy, and Bachelor's degrees or equivalent qualifications with sufficient
grounding in physics from universities of technology.
M.Sc. Astronomy and Space Physics
University of Oulu
FINLAND
ILETS – 6.5
DURATION 2 YAERS
INTAKE 2014 AUGUST
Astronomy and Space Physics are among the most rapidly
developing field of natural sciences. The amount of new data grows at enormous
rate as new satellites are launched and ground-based facilities are opened.
Both research fields are highly international. The Department of Physics at the
Faculty of Science, University of Oulu organizes a twoyear full-time Masters
degree programme in Astronomy and Space Physics (AstroSpace), which provides
special qualifications and prepares specialists in astronomy and space physics.
Students will be awarded a Master of Science degree in astronomy or physics.
The graduates will be ready to start research work in a specialized field. They
will obtain the necessary knowledge that would allow them to enter the graduate
programme aiming at receiving PhD degree in their major field. Education in
Finland is internationally known for its high quality which is recognized in
international assessments like PISA. University of Oulu belongs to the top 400
world universities according to the Academic ranking of world universities. The
programme is open for applications from students with a Bachelor´s degree in
astronomy, physics or theoretical physics, or other sciences and technical
sciences, with sufficient background in physics (60 European Credit Transfer
and Accumulation System/ECTS credits) and mathematics (40 ECTS). A sufficient
knowledge of English is required.
Research at University of Oulu
Astronomy nowadays is one of the most rapidly
developing fields of physical sciences. Modern astronomy studies planetary
systems, stars, galaxies, and the Universe as the whole, using physical
methods. The physical conditions of the objects under study are extreme: very
high and very low temperatures, high and low densities, ultra-strong magnetic
fields and extremely high energies. The amount of information is growing all
the time thanks to the new generation of space observatories operating from
radio to GeV energies and large ground-based telescopes. The Finnish
astronomers have access to the most modern Very Large Telescopes at European
Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile as well as to the Nordic Optical Telescope
at La Palma island. They can also apply for time at the facilities of the
European Space Agency such as International Gamma-Ray Astrophysical Laboratory
and XMM-Newton observatories. The main topics of the research in astronomy and
astrophysics at University of Oulu are the theoretical and observational
studies of the accretion-powered high energy sources such as neutron stars and
black holes as well as gamma-ray bursts, and studies of the systems governed by
the gravitational force, including planetary rings, satellite systems, barred
galaxies, and interacting galaxies.
Space physics consists of ionospheric,
magnetospheric, heliospheric and solar physics, which are closely connected.
The high-latitude ionosphere is coupled to the magnetosphere, which is further
affected by the variable magnetic field and particle flux in the solar wind.
The topics on ionospheric physics deal with the complex features of
highlatitude ionosphere and the interaction with magnetosphere, e.g. auroral
phenomena. Magnetospheric physics is concentrated on the physical processes of
the Earth´s magnetosphere, e.g., magnetic storms and substorms. Data from both
ground-based and satellite instruments are used in the research. The main
ground-based instruments are incoherent and coherent radars, magnetometers,
auroral cameras and photometers. Data from the EISCAT radar systems are used
extensively and profound work on developing the incoherent scatter method is
done. The exploited satellites fly both inside the magnetosphere and in the
solar wind. They provide optical, particle and field observations. Examples of
such satellites are Cluster-II, NOAA/POES, Polar and ACE. The heliospheric
research makes use of observations of solar wind and interplanetary magnetic
field as well as measurements of cosmic rays. The main subject of research of
solar physics is the Sun, solar activity and its influence on the climate on
Earth being among the hottest research topics.
Description of the program
The extent of the masters degree program in
astronomy and space physics is 120 ECTS credits. It consists of 81 credits of
studies in the chosen discipline (astronomy or space physics) which themselves
consist of 40 credits of mandatory advanced courses, 35 credits for the Master
thesis, a research project and a Maturity test. In addition, there are
mandatory courses for at least 15 credits in the neiboughring discipline (for
majors in astronomy these are courses in space physics and vise versa), and
additional courses chosen freely among the courses in astronomy, space physics
or other complementary courses. All these courses are given in English at the
Department of Physics, University of Oulu.
Fulfillment of the master program
The fulfillment of the master degree programme
requires passing the exams at the mandatory courses, getting the sufficient
number of credits at the selected complementary courses, passing a written
maturity test, writing the Master thesis and defending it at a seminar.
