What can I do with an MSc in Earth and Space Physics and Engineering
With a MSc Eng in Earth and Space Physics and Engineering, you have a wide range of job opportunities with Danish and international high-tech companies, international space agencies, and national authorities. Furthermore, you might get the opportunity to continue your studies and do a PhD, for instance at DTU.
Typical fields of work
Earth and Space Physics and Engineering graduates typically work with the design and development of satellite systems and instruments as well as the design, development, and application of systems for receiving, processing, analysing, simulating, and modelling data.
Career opportunities
A MSc Eng degree in Earth and Space Physics and Engineering will provide you with a sound basis for innovative work aimed at addressing many of the societal challenges requiring new and advanced technological solutions.
The degree offers a wide range of career opportunities with:
- Danish and international high-tech companies, such as Terma, Rovsing, Astrium, Thales Alenia Space, Arianespace, and CASA
- international organizations, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), the U.S. space agency NASA, and the EU
- ·national authorities.
Graduates from the Earth and Space Physics and Engineering programme are also highly attractive to the geo and consultancy industry for carrying out surveying and mapping tasks, including exploration of raw materials, environmental monitoring, and risk assessment.
Potential employers in this area include:
- Surveying and mapping companies, such as COWI, DHI and Rammbøl
- GIS companies, such as Atkins, InformiGIS, and Niras
- Engineering consultants in the environmental field, e.g. COWI, Rambøll, and DHI
- Major surveying companies, e.g. LE34 and Geopartner
- Public authorities, e.g. the Danish Mapping Agency SDFE, the Danish Meteorological Institute, GEUS, the Danish Maritime Safety Administration, the Danish Road Directorate, as well as regional and local authorities.
Pursue a PhD
Once you have a MSc in Engineering, you might get the opportunity to continue your studies and apply for admission to the three-year PhD, which at DTU is a research-based programme ranking among the best in the world. You can do either a regular PhD or an industrial PhD—the latter with concurrent employment in a company.
As a PhD student, you will be part of a research group and will carry out an independent scientific project.
