Overview
The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications offers a Space Systems Engineering stream in the Master of Engineering Science degree. Unlike other programs, which tend to be application-specific (e.g. master's in satellite communications), this stream will focus on the systems engineering aspect of spacecraft and space systems before delving into … For more content click the Read More button below.
These courses give students a comprehensive foundation in space systems engineering in all its aspects from the space segment to the ground segment and typical applications.
The stream serves as a point of entry to a profession in the space industry, or to a research career in space.
