Overview
Why choose this course
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, 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, keeping us at the forefront of the space revolution.
Our strategic partnership agreements with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd and Airbus ensure that we continue to be part of the lifeblood in the UK’s industrial space sector.
What you will study
We are 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 our own spacecraft mission operation ground station at Surrey Space Centre). Because of this, you will have the chance to gain your own first-hand experience of real space missions.
