Kurzbeschreibung & Facts
The Master's program in Satellite Technology at the University of Würzburg, also known as SATEC, is an international program taught in English. It is part of the "Elite Network of Bavaria," an initiative by the Bavarian government to attract top science students to universities in Bavaria. The program combines over 20 years of experience in building satellites with over 15 years of educating students in space technologies.
SATEC focuses on Satellite-System-Design and Technology, integrating geography, mathematics, communications, mechanical engineering, and material science into a competitive program. The program builds synergies with existing courses and partners, including almost all space institutions in Bavaria. Guest lectures are integrated to provide students with hands-on experience.
The partner network enables the organization of meetings, lectures, and excursions to institutions working on space missions, helping students connect with leading researchers and explore research opportunities at partner institutions.
The University of Würzburg operates its own small satellites called "University of Würzburg Experimental Satellites" (UWE-X). The university has launched several UWE satellites, including UWE-1 (launched in 2005), UWE-2 (launched in 2008), UWE-3 (launched in 2013), and UWE-4 (launched in 2018). These satellites contribute to the development of methods and techniques that can be transferred to industry.
The space ecosystem in Würzburg includes the Zentrum für Telematik e.V. and its spin-off S4 -Smart Small Satellite Systems GmbH, offering students opportunities for hands-on training and careers after completing the Master Program.
