SPACE SCIENCE RMIT

Bachelor of Space Science at RMIT

Do you want to be part of Space 2.0? Have you thought about human spaceflight, space tourism and even missions to Mars?There is substantial government and industry investment in space science technology, highlighting the growing gap in skills, both in Australia and internationally.

The Bachelor of Space Science at RMIT University – not quite like any other degree in Australia – allows students to prepare for an exciting career in the growing space industry.  They develop critical skills in space science and technology, connecting the upstream (build/launch) and downstream (application of space-related products and services) industries.  The degree offers a unique mix of physics, engineering, geospatial science, mathematics, statistics and specialised space studies.

This degree encompasses multiple partnerships with national and international space companies and space agencies including USA (NASA), Japan, (JAXA), Europe (ESA) and Germany (DLR).

During their studies, students will have the opportunity to undertake a 12-week industry placement so they can immerse themselves in the world of space.  Some of these placements are run through Saber Astronautics, the Bureau of Meteorology, and CSIRO.
