| Zusammenfassung |
| The town of Kiruna in the north of Sweden has a concentration of
space activities and space research with, for example, the Swedish
Institute of Space Physics, Esrange, the ESA Salmijärvi
satellite station, and EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter Radar)
Scientific Association. The Department of Space Science is a joint
department between the two most northern universities in Sweden,
Luleå University of Technology and Umeå University in
collaboration with the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. It offers
a range of education programmes in the space field. There are
bachelor and master programmes in space engineering, and a bridging
programme for students without a science background from secondary
school. The Department also contributes to courses for teachers,
Ph.D. courses and secondary school level courses. One master´s
program and a three week summer course are given entirely in English
and welcome international students. Thanks to good cooperation with
Esrange students can build and fly experiments on high altitude
balloons and sounding rockets and also take a large responsibility
for the management of the projects. Close interaction with research
and industry is an important part of the education. |
