The multidisciplinary nature of space systems engineering requires people with a range of talents. The MSc in Space Systems Engineering incorporates the design of all the elements that make up a space mission providing a solid grounding for those seeking a career in the space industry. The taught element of the programme consists of a series of compulsory and optional modules and is followed by a substantial research project leading to a dissertation. The goals of the course are to give you: an advanced knowledge of Space Systems Engineering an understanding of the use, and an appreciation of the limitations, of computational analysis and design tools in the development of a space mission and related hardware.
