Significant government and private sector funding is being directed toward space science technology, underscoring the widening skills shortage both in Australia and globally. RMIT's Bachelor of Space Science equips students with essential expertise in space science and technology, bridging the gap between upstream (construction/launch) and downstream (utilization of space-based products and services) sectors. This program stands alone in Australia's educational landscape. We pioneer advancements in both space science and engineering research, offering a distinctive combination of physics, engineering, geospatial science, mathematics, statistics, and specialized space studies.
The degree features collaborations with numerous domestic and international space organizations, including industry partners like Space Applications Services, Electro Optic Systems, Geoscience Australia, and global space agencies such as NASA (USA), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and DLR (Germany).
Students gain access to cutting-edge facilities including the RMIT Optical Telescope, SPACE Research Centre, Virtual Experiences Laboratory, and Space Industry Hub. Industry placements form a core component of the program, with opportunities for 12-week immersive experiences at organizations like Saber Astronautics, the Bureau of Meteorology, and CSIRO.
