Description

  • Type

    Master

  • Duration

    5 Years

Our course takes you beyond the conventional engineering difficulties of designing equipment for use on Earth’s surface. You’ll develop the skills needed to design and build systems and platforms for the hostile environment of space.

Your first two years develop your understanding of electrical engineering science before specialising in space science and technology. You’ll study electronics and communications technologies with elements of space and planetary science. Your learning will be supported by the latest theory and practice in spacecraft engineering, space electronics, Earth observation, the space environment and weather.

You’ll have opportunities to put what you learn in lectures into practice through project work. Group and individual projects give you the chance to work on specialist topics such as systems-level designs for satellites and planetary landers. You’ll apply business, teamwork and management skills to solve industry-focused engineering challenges. Your ability to combine professional and technical engineering knowledge will prepare you for a career in the space industry.

About this course

Design, operate and build electronic systems for the space environment. Gain the engineering skills needed for a career in the space industry.

We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries worldwide. You’ll graduate with the technical expertise and transferable skills that will open up employment opportunities for you. You can pursue a career in high-technology industries in electronics, power, aerospace, communications, robotics or manufacturing. Or you could find employment in other sectors such as IT, financial services, accountancy, the armed forces or business. Many of our graduates continue their studies to pursue an academic or research career.

You will need a strong performance in Mathematics as part of your entry qualifications. You will also need strong performance in a second science or technology subject, such as:

Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Design and Technology (except Fashion or Textiles)
Electronics
Environmental Science
Further Mathematics
GCSE English grade C or 4 (or equivalent from English language category C).

Accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology, licensed by the Engineering Council, to fulfil the educational requirements for a Chartered Engineer.
