Courses in the Space South Central Region

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.

On our BEng and MEng programmes, you’ll focus on applying theory to real-world engineering problems and technologies in our well-equipped laboratories.

Throughout your course, you’ll be exposed to the latest developments in electronic engineering through high-quality teaching and excellent facilities.

Our BEng and MEng courses produce engineers with the skills required to work at the forefront of electrical engineering, power and control.

You’ll discover the latest developments in electrical and electronic engineering through high-quality teaching and our laboratory, fabrication and 3D printing facilities.

Aeronautics and Astronautics looks at the science, engineering and manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft. You'll learn how they operate within our atmosphere and in space.

On this spacecraft engineering degree you’ll study the general principles of aerospace engineering, then take more advanced modules specialising in the design and operation of spacecraft, and their environmental impact.

Take your engineering passions to the skies as you learn to design the aircraft and spacecraft of the future. You’ll explore vital areas of electronics and take up the challenge of developing greener air travel. You'll also gain specialist knowledge of avionics, practical computing and programming. This course will prepare you for a career in the aerospace industry.

BEng Aerospace Electronic Engineering gives you a broad knowledge of electronics. You can then focus on new and future aerospace technologies, including:

• Autonomous, unmanned flying vehicles

• GPS to improve flight safety and efficiency

Explore the specialist engineering and aerospace systems that keep planes in the air. Take advanced modules that specialise in wing design, propulsion and manufacturing. Southampton has offered aerospace engineering degrees since the 1930s, and many of our graduates go on to successful careers in the space industry, aerospace or defence sector.

Fuel your fascination for space and the technologies used to investigate it. On this MPhys Physics with Space Science degree you’ll explore a wide range of subjects, from the essentials of astronomy through to satellite design and space weather. You’ll also benefit from the latest research.

With the global space market set to almost double by 2030, your skills will be in high demand. This degree will also prepare you for further study at PhD level.

On this Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology degree course, you’ll deepen your understanding of the fundamental laws of physics, and apply this knowledge to the structure and behaviour of some of the largest and smallest elements of existence.

You'll be taught by and study alongside researchers from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) who play leading roles in major international projects, such as the European Space Agency Euclid satellite. You’ll graduate with mathematical and computational knowledge sought after by employers in many industries, from aerospace to finance.

Electronic engineering powers the world we live in today. From games consoles, smartphones and fitness trackers to life-saving medical systems, cyber security and self-driving cars.

On this Electronic Engineering degree, you’ll learn to design and develop electronic equipment and devices that could have a significant impact on the world. Develop your knowledge of the theory and design of electronics while putting theory into practice in our extensive facilities.

Electronic technology evolves rapidly. Be part of the future on a course that opens doors to a career as a professional electronics engineer.
