Master of Science - Space Engineering

Program Description

The night sky presents us with the idea of infinity, and advances in space engineering lead the way in giving us the opportunity to go further and explore more than ever before.

At Surrey, they pioneered sophisticated ‘micro-satellites’ in the 1980s. Since then, they've maintained a programme of building entire satellites, performing mission planning, working with international launch agencies and providing in-orbit operations, keeping us at the forefront of the space revolution.

The strategic partnership agreements with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd and Airbus ensure that they continue to be part of the lifeblood in the UK’s industrial space sector.

The MSc in Space Engineering is designed to give students the specialist multidisciplinary knowledge and skills required for a career working with space technologies. They will have access to all aspects of the design and delivery of spacecraft and payloads.

Surrey is the only UK academic institution that develops and executes complete space missions – from initial concept to hardware design, manufacturing, testing and to in-orbit operations (controlled by Surrey's own spacecraft mission operation ground station at Surrey Space Centre). Because of this, students will have the chance to gain their own first-hand experience of real space missions.
