Description de la formation

Since more than fifty years, satellite systems have demonstrated their excellence to collect and distribute data in a vast coverage area for the benefit of thousands of users. Within the global telecommunications industry, space communications display one of the most profitable businesses in permanent evolution. Companies of the sector, both system and service providers, are constantly looking for junior executives offering the expertise matching the specifics of satellite communications.
.

The SATCOM program aims to train autonomous graduates in the field of satellite telecommunications. The level of expertise acquired in electronics, digital communications, networks and systems allows them to quickly access positions of responsibility in this field and more generally in the field of telecommunications.

The program is taught in English and is built upon on the following foundations:

• A global approach of system design and analysis by taking into account the environments, the limitations and constraints, the interfaces and the expected performances,
• An expertise in the disciplines contributing to the design of these systems: electronics, digital communications, networking, etc.
• Simulation tools and field techniques,
• Development of applications for the space and embedded-system domains.

Toulouse being the French capital of Space, the Master program benefits of a unique research and professional environment. It also profits from the strong connections with the aerospace and defence industries developed by faculty members of ENSEEIHT.

The Master program is supported by major actors in the field of satellite communications (Airbus Defense and Space, Thales Alenia Space, CNES, SES, EUTELSAT, INMARSAT…). The teaching staff is composed of faculty members who are part of major French research laboratories and experts of satellite industry.

The main sector of activity is satellite telecommunications, but graduates can integrate into the entire field of telecommunications.

Graduates are mainly hired by the major European players in the field of satellite telecommunications (system and service providers): industrials (Thales Alenia Space, Airbus Defense and Space, etc.), agencies (CNES, DLR, ESA, etc.), operators (EUTELSAT, SES, INMARSAT). Large companies in the field of telecommunications in general such as Thales and Orange for example are also employers. Graduates are also recruited by SMEs such as: CLS, Silicom, Sigfox, etc.

As the course is taught in English, the n+i PIL (intensive courses of French during summer) isn't compulsory. But students who want to improve their French level can ask for an inscription to the PIL. Note that to get the French visa and to be able to adapt yourself in France, a minimum level A2 is compulsory. So students are encourage to take courses of French before coming.
Morover, the n+i PIM (semester of adaptation) isn't necessary for this English taught master.
