The space sector is one of the fastest-growing technological industries in the world, creating great opportunities for engineers who can combine technology, innovation, and critical thinking.
Space Engineering is an innovative programme for students who want to develop technologies used in satellites, space missions, autonomous systems, and the infrastructure of the future.
Apply and join the engineers who will shape the future of space exploration!
Space Engineering is a first-cycle (Bachelor’s) engineering programme delivered entirely in English by an international team of lecturers and space industry experts.
The programme was created in close cooperation with industrial and academic partners, in response to real market needs. As a result, students are closely connected to the space sector throughout their studies, gaining insight into companies, technologies, and practical solutions used in the industry.
This approach allows students to develop competencies that are genuinely in demand by employers and to prepare for careers in one of the fastest-growing technological industries in the world.
Space Engineering is the first and only programme of its kind in Poland. It is based on a comprehensive, systems-level approach that shows how modern space systems are designed and built in practice. You will learn how to integrate hardware and software in the same way it is done in real space missions.
At the beginning of the programme, you willgain a solid foundation in core engineering subjects, including mechanics, robotics, electronics, programming, and materials.
In the later stages, the curriculum focuses on key areas of space engineering, such as:
You will also explore Earth observation technologies, work with sensors, and design payloads. The programme includes orbital mechanics as well as attitude determination and control systems for satellites and spacecraft.
Throughout your studies, you will develop skills in data analysis and processing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. All courses are taught in a space application context, based on real-world solutions used in the space industry.
By combining multiple engineering domains, the programme gives you a practical and comprehensive understanding of how modern space missions are designed, built, and operated.
Courses are taught by experts and researchers from different countries, including industry practitioners and specialists connected with international space sector, for example European Space Agency.
Classes are taught by practitioners who don’t rely on theory alone, but have designed technologies that have actually been sent into space!
The programme prepares students for international careers and global engineering environments.
Studies are free of charge for students from Poland. International students are subject to tuition fees, which are described in detail on the webpage dedicated to international applicants.
The Faculty hosts 10 space-related student research groups, where students actively engage in ambitious, real-world projects.
Their areas of interest include:
We are a part of UNIVERSEH: European Space University for Earth and Humanity. It is an alliance of seven European universities, active since 2021, focused on advancing education and collaboration in the space sector. The project brings together institutions from across Europe, including partners from France, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Luxembourg, and Belgium.
UNIVERSEH offers a range of opportunities for students, including:
Students can participate in conferences, international projects, workshops, and short-term schools abroad, gaining valuable international experience and building a global network.
Regular "Meet the Copmany" events with space and high-tech companies give students the opportunity to explore the industry, build professional networks, and learn directly from employers.
Expert talks and seminars with researchers, engineers, and industry professionals allow students to continuously expand their knowledge beyond the classroom.
Graduates can build careers in the space sector, advanced technology industries, and deep tech, finding employment in areas such as:
The interdisciplinary profile of the programme also opens opportunities in related high-tech fields, such as robotics, autonomous systems, and other modern engineering industries.
