Program 01

Master JSNP

Your pathway to the Space Sector through Satellite Navigation

The Master JSNP is GNSS Academy’s flagship programme: a 6-month industrial online Master designed to help engineers build a real pathway into the Space Sector through one of its most strategic technologies: Satellite Navigation and Space PNT.

This programme is not only about learning GNSS. It is about understanding how a complete navigation system works from Space to User to Ground Segment, developing real engineering skills, building a technical project with real data, and positioning yourself for opportunities in the space industry.

JSNP brings together advanced technical training, hands-on project experience, expert sessions with professionals from the sector, and career guidance through the LaunchPad framework.

It is the programme for engineers who want to move from curiosity to capability, from academic knowledge to industrial understanding, and from ‘I want to work in space’ to ‘I am ready to contribute.’
