Course Summary

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 Surrey, 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?Surrey Space Centre?on?our?campus, and our?strategic partnership agreements with?Surrey 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?Surrey 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.

Professional recognition

MSc - Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.

Careers and graduate prospects

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

As a graduate of this course, you’ll?be in high demand in the UK and European space industries, particularly as industry faces a critical need for graduates of electronic engineering-based disciplines. Students from Surrey Space Centre have gone on to work as engineers in radio frequency, instrumentation, imaging, computing, astrodynamics and propulsion.

Modules

This is an individual student project module giving each student an opportunity to gain realistic experience in developing a solution to a problem from its inception to a demonstrable result. It provides a framework as well as vehicle for exercising all key aspects of project work, from project specification, through literature and technology research, leading to project planning, problem solving as well as design and implementation, culminating in performance assessment, project demonstration, and project evaluation. It also provides a scope for gaining practical experience ininterpersonal skills, use of IT, project management, project reporting and project presentation. The project can be either of engineering design nature or have a research flavour.
