MS (Research) + Ph.D. dual degree in Space Sciences and Engineering
In today’s world, Space is not just about human curiosity in knowing what’s beyond. Space has turned out to be a frontier essential to address a plethora of current issues as well as future prosperity.
It includes the study and prediction of climate change, communication, navigation, defense, security, survey, agriculture, environment, ecology, and astronomy. It is essential to develop technology and trained human resources to meet the enormous requirements in this sector both in government and private sectors.
The students trained in UG/PG degrees in other disciplines have the basic foundation but fall short of the specialized skills required to carry out research in the domain of Space Sciences and Engineering. This program is designed to help candidates get into specialized fields related to Space Sciences and Engineering, learn some basic domain knowledge, and get exposed to research in the areas related to Space Sciences and Engineering.
Students graduating from this program are expected to thrive in higher studies in the domain as well as apply for high-skilled jobs in space and related industries.
