Starting in Autumn 2026, the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH), jointly with AIUB and WP, offers a new specialized Master's program Space Sciences and Astronomy (120 ECTS). The program expands on the existing Physics and Astronomy programs with a deepened focus on interdisciplinarity in space research.
Ever since the inclusion of the Bernese Solar Wind Composition experiment (SWC) in the Apollo 11 mission, planted on the lunar surface by "Buzz" Aldrin even before the American flag, Bern has been among the world's elite in space exploration. The University of Bern has been participating in space missions of the major space organizations, such as ESA, NASA and JAXA, and with CHEOPS, the University of Bern shares responsibility with ESA for a whole mission.
Here you can find all necessary information for the Master's Program, Thesis Projects and related things like the CSH/WP Colloquium and more.
The University of Bern's Master's Open Days take place this March both on site and online. Interested to learn more about our new Master's Program? Then join us!
