Master in Earth Observations From Space: Advanced Technologies and Applications (EO-SAT)

The first-level Master in Earth Observations From Space: Advanced Technologies and Applications (EO-SAT) is offered by the Department of Engineering of the University of Basilicata. It integrates theory and practice on advanced technologies and applications of satellite observation, with specialised software and real tools for the collection, processing and interpretation of satellite data. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts 9 months, is full-time and is taught in English, with an online or in-person option in Potenza. Internships with aerospace and ICT companies are provided, but not guaranteed.

The aim is to train professionals able to interpret data from satellite platforms and develop innovative solutions in Earth observation, environmental services, land-use planning and monitoring. The career opportunities indicated are the Space Economy, the geospatial sector and public and private bodies in the geospatial field. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
