About the study
Ready to Shape the Future of Aerospace? Join the Aerospace Engineering Master’s Program at UiT Narvik and take your passion to new heights. Specialize in drone technology or advanced satellite design and gain the skills to innovate and lead in this evolving industry. Be part of the next generation of aerospace pioneers and impact the future of flight and space exploration.
What will you learn?
The programme is designed for students interested in learning, developing, and applying state-of-the-art technologies for space-related purposes. The knowledge and methods are also relevant to other extreme environments, including the Arctic and subsea sectors.
The programme covers
- Satellite communication
- Satellite structures
- Materials and mechanisms
- Satellite data processing
- Systems engineering
- Satellite power systems
- Embedded systems
- Mathematical modelling and simulation
- Classical mechanics
- Linear algebra and numerical methods
- Control engineering
- Artificial intelligence and intelligent agents.
These disciplines provide a broad foundation for understanding and developing advanced aerospace technologies.

Practical execution
The online Master’s programme in Aerospace Engineering can be completed in three or four years. The three-year option requires approximately 75% study time, while the four-year option requires 50% and is suitable for working students. Students are encouraged to collaborate with a company, including when developing their master’s thesis.
A digital refresher course in linear algebra is offered before the programme starts.
Teaching combines recorded lectures, live streaming, problem-solving, mandatory coursework, projects, and laboratory activities. Some laboratories require physical attendance during designated assembly weeks. Examinations are primarily digital, although certain courses may require on-campus attendance. See the study plan and individual course descriptions for detailed information.
