Discover Hungary’s new space training programme in English!

Hungary’s UniSpace programme, established by a consortium of 21 Hungarian universities to train the next generation of space industry professionals, has launched instruction in English in addition to Hungarian, the ministry of foreign affairs and trade, which supports the initiative, said on Wednesday.

The three-semester UniSpace programme, started in 2022, offers courses in space technology, space health and nutrition, space science and space policy. The programme, coordinated by the Ludovika University of Public Service, produced its first graduates in the spring.

Information, in English, on enrolling in the course is available by following THIS link.

The aim of the LUPS Space Policy Adviser specialisation is to familiarise students with the legal, political and economic aspects of the human use of space. During the two semesters, based on a common module, students can study space law, space economics, relevant security and defence policy and other knowledge essential for working in the sector.  The training will be delivered by lecturers from ten universities.

The UniSpace programme will be built around the following university degree courses:

1. the LUPS launches a postgraduate course: space policy advisor (social sciences)
2. the ELTE launches the postgraduate course in space science (natural sciences)
3. the BME launches the post-graduate course in space technology (engineering)
4. the University of Debrecen is launching a specialisation in innovative nutrition and health sciences (medicine and health sciences).

The UniSpace programme courses are three semesters long, with the first semester being common, i.e. students will acquire the relevant basic knowledge in all disciplines (basics of space science and technology, space life and nutrition, international law and space economics). The second and third semesters will be divided into courses, each discipline providing a deeper knowledge of the use of space. In addition, during these semesters students will also follow other disciplines, as an interdisciplinary approach is essential.

People with at least a BA degree are eligible.
