Formation's goal
Career opportunities
The institute of aeronautics and space studies was created in April 2014. This institute is structured in three departments: the department of aeronautical construction, the department of air navigation, which are already functional, and a third newly created department which is the department of space studies.
The implementation of the master space propulsion from the year 2015-2016, is only a logical follow-up to the creation of new training offers for a new department, which should be developed on the educational level. This will be the first course set up to start the department.
This new Master's has the educational objective of offering students excellent training in the field of space propulsion. This specialty will be the first in Algeria and is part of the development of the space component and satellite technology in Algeria.
Students graduating from this MASTER can apply for engineering jobs in companies or go into teaching and scientific and technological research.
As they can continue their studies to prepare a doctorate degree LMD in Aeronautics, existing training in the institute of aeronautics.
- Acquisition and mastery of different methods of satellite and space technologies, in the field of propulsion structures
- Mastery of different theories, related to different fluid regimes, type of space propulsion, design of space propulsion structures.
At the end of this training, the student will have an excellent command of space propulsion, which will allow him to integrate easily into a professional activity; and serve the country in this strategic and essential discipline for the nation. In addition, this training opens up the possibility for the student to pursue doctoral research.
