I am interested in applying to this program: http://spacemaster.eu/
and was wondering if anyone knows more about it. I am an American studying physics at a top research university. I didn't see many Americans among the students in the program and was wondering if they don't take many Americans or just don't get that many applicants. In other words, will being an American be advantageous? I am also curious about what they are looking for in a candidate. My gpa is not super high (around 3.6) but I have a ton of experience in both research (in physics) and engineering. I also expect to get good rec letters. What are my chances of getting in? How competitive is it?

Also it looks like some students are accepted without funding. Can I just go and pay for everything myself? Are there any other sources of funding I can apply for?

Are there any programs similar to this one? I am looking for an abroad experience in space physics/engineering.

Thanks!

SpaceMaster is an excellent program and it does accept international students from all over the world, including the US. The program is highly competitive so having a strong academic record is important. While having a GPA of 3.6 is not super high, if you can demonstrate your research experience and engineering skills, this can help make up for any lower grades. You will also need strong letters of recommendation to be considered. In terms of funding, there are scholarships available and you may also be able to find other sources of funding, such as grants or fellowships. Additionally, you may be able to pay for the program yourself.If you're looking for similar programs, you may want to consider programs at university-affiliated research institutes, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), which offers a range of short and long-term programs. You may also want to check out other international programs related to space physics/engineering, such as the International Space University (ISU) or the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA).
