Description/content

The programme combines physics and electronics engineering. It is application-oriented and provides knowledge in the fields of remote sensing, earth observation, retrieval theory, electronics and communications. Lectures on measurement techniques impart advanced skills and methods in sensing and processing. Methods of data transmission in communication networks complete the range in the field of communications.

Course organisation

The structure of the programme is modular and comprises mandatory core modules, specialisation subjects, elective modules and practical courses. In the first academic year (semesters one and two), students read about the foundations and choose one out of two specialisation subjects (either Physics for Space Observation or Information Technologies for Space). In the second academic year (semesters three and four), the study of the specialisation subject continues and research starts, culminating in the Master's thesis.

Accommodation

On and near campus, there are single flats and shared flats for up to eight people, provided by the Student Service Office (in German: "Studierendenwerk"). The rent per person for these rooms ranges from 200 EUR to 400 EUR.
See http://www.stw-bremen.de/ for application and further information.
However, managing to get a room in one of the shared flats can be hard, and the waiting lists for single apartments are long.
Most students do not live in these residences. Instead, they usually find a room or flat on the private market. The price range is higher there.
