Having pioneered the small satellite industry 40 years ago, Surrey Space Centre designs and builds innovative commercial satellites to launch into orbit. This means our BEng and MEng Astronautics and Space Engineering courses give you a unique opportunity to learn from inspiring academics at the forefront of space engineering. You’ll also have the opportunity to do a Professional Training placement, which is excellent preparation for a technology-based career path.You’ll apply your knowledge through project work, giving you the opportunity to work closely with academics from Surrey Space Centre. This will enable you to gain practical experience of the technologies that go into space missions.You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies. Over the last decade, our employment figures have been among the best in the UK, with 90 per cent of our electrical and electronic engineering undergraduate students going on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes survey 2023).Studying for our BEng or MEng Astronautics and Space Engineering can lead to a rewarding career. It also offers an intellectually demanding and exciting opportunity to make new discoveries through research.Our graduate engineers are not only in demand in research and development, but also in technical sales, management, government and public services. They have a consistently strong record of gaining employment with leading companies across the electronics, information technology and communications industries.
