Why choose this course The night sky presents us with the idea of infinity, and advances in space engineering give us the opportunity to go further and explore more than ever before. At — we pioneered sophisticated ‘micro-satellites’ in the 1980s. Since then, we’ve maintained a programme of building entire satellites, performing mission planning, working with international launch agencies and providing in-orbit operations. This activity keeps us at the forefront of the space revolution. With — Space Centre on our campus, and our strategic partnership agreements with — Satellite Technology Ltd and Airbus, we are part of the lifeblood of the UK’s industrial space sector. What you will study Our MSc is designed to give you the specialist multidisciplinary knowledge and skills required for a career working with space technologies. You’ll have access to all aspects of the design and delivery of spacecraft and payloads. We are the only UK academic institution that develops, builds and operates complete space missions – from initial concept to hardware design, manufacturing and testing to in-orbit operations. All this is controlled by our own spacecraft mission operation ground station at — Space Centre. Because of this, you’ll have the chance to gain first-hand experience of real space missions and how this relates to the taught modules.
