The Space Study Program (SSP) of the International Space University, Strasbourg, is a month-long professional development course focussing on both technical and non-technical aspects of the space industry—something that is extremely essential in a field as interdisciplinary as space. If you’re looking for your next adventure that adds a lot of value to your student or professional career, SSP might be your answer.

As a first in this venture of ours to help prospective space students make the best decisions about their future in the space industry, we bring to you European master’s courses, offered under European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme, that we’re sure will not only satisfy your thirst for space-tech knowledge, but also take you places, both literally and figuratively.

Let's start with a disclaimer. Going for space studies is NOT about becoming an astronaut or going to Mars. That being said, going for space studies IS about rockets, satellites, the Sun, stars, planets, Mars rovers, microgravity and a whole bunch of very exciting stuff. So, if you are enthusiastic about science and technology, and currently considering your next academic move, this article is just for you.
