Bachelor of Space Science (BP330P23) in Melbourne Australia | RMIT University

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 technology, bridging the gap between upstream (development/launch) and downstream (utilization of space-based products and services) sectors. This program stands alone in Australia's educational landscape. We pioneer advancements in space science and engineering research, offering a distinctive combination of physics, engineering, geospatial studies, mathematics, statistics, and specialized space disciplines.
The program fosters numerous collaborations with domestic and international space organizations, including partnerships with Space Applications Services, Electro Optic Systems, Geoscience Australia, and global space agencies like NASA (USA), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and DLR (Germany).
Students gain access to cutting-edge facilities such as the RMIT Optical Telescope, SPACE Research Centre, Virtual Experiences Laboratory, and Space Industry Hub. Industry placements form a core component, with opportunities for 12-week immersive experiences at organizations like Saber Astronautics, the Bureau of Meteorology, and CSIRO.
Through our Industry Advisory Committee and ongoing research collaborations, the School of Science maintains strong industry connections. Committee insights have been instrumental in shaping this program, offering crucial guidance on emerging industry needs, graduate competencies, advanced equipment utilization, and the integration of work-based learning with international perspectives.
