Design, operate and build electronic systems for the space environment. Gain the engineering skills needed for a career in the space industry.Our course takes you beyond the engineering difficulties of designing equipment for use on Earth’s surface. Instead, you'll develop the skills needed to design and build systems and platforms for the hostile environment of space.The first two years of our Electronic Engineering with Space Science and Technology courses are the same, introducing you to elements of project management, engineering processes, professional practice ethics and sustainability. It also allows you to switch between the BEng and MEng degree and decide whether you want to take a professional placement year or not up until the end of your second year. You'll grow your understanding of electrical engineering science before specialising in electronics and communications technologies with elements of space and planetary science. Your learning will be supported by the latest theory and practice in spacecraft engineering, space electronics, Earth observation, the space environment and weather. Group and individual project work throughout the degree challenge you to develop bold ideas and apply your knowledge of engineering in creative and innovative ways. Your ability to combine professional and technical engineering knowledge will prepare you for a career in the space industry and a range of other professions.Our MEng degrees give you an in-depth study experience through advanced taught units and project work and fulfil the educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer.We also offer this course with a placement year, giving you the opportunity to gain work experience as part of your degree.Learn from experts in the fieldYou’ll learn from academics with expertise in electronic and electrical engineering. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.Read about our areas of research specialism to find out what our academics are doing.Use specialist facilitiesOur Department has sophisticated teaching, project and fabrication laboratories that you’ll use during your degree. These include teaching laboratories, power and robotics laboratories, workshop and printed circuit board (PCB) production facilities, dedicated project workspaces and computer laboratories.

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and one other science or technology subject.We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved at least AAAAB in their Highers.

A pass the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or Engineering), with at least 36 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 credits achieved at Merit or above. This must include 12 credits from Mathematics units (including calculus) achieved at Distinction.

36 points overall and 6, 6, 6 or 7, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics and 6 in one other science or technology subject.We accept Sports, Exercise and Health Science as a science subject for this course.Mathematics is required at Higher Level. In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying a science or technology subject at Standard Level instead of Higher Level. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics plus 7 in one science or technology subject at Standard Level.International Baccalaureate contextual offer:36 points overall and 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in either HL Mathematics and 6 in one other science or technology subject.
