Space Systems Engineering (Taught)

On this unique master's, you'll focus on the design of all elements involved in a space mission, and use an integrated approach, which demonstrates how the various component subsystems function and interface with each other. This master's has a strong practical focus. We are uniquely placed to offer this programme, drawing extensively from courses provided to the European Space Agency by our Astronautics group. Our course is suitable if you have previously studied physics or engineering.

Compulsory modules include: Advanced Astronautics; Concurrent Space Systems Design; Spacecraft Orbital Mechanics; Spacecraft Propulsion; Spacecraft Structural Design; Spacecraft Instrumentation; MSc Research Project.

Optional modules include: Applications of CFD, Principles of Photovoltaics, Fuel Cells and Batteries; Turbulence; Space Environment; Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics; Introduction to Machine Learning.
