Course Description
Graduates of this MSc degree will be multidisciplinary engineers, and will be competitively placed in the international job market for opportunities in the communications, media, and aerospace industries. Graduates will also be eligible to apply for openings in the Space design or construction of satellites, spacecraft, space instruments, or space-related systems. Satellite systems are now the pre-eminent communications technology. Satellites are used for TV broadcasting, mobile communications, internet access, navigation (Global Positioning System), environmental monitoring, surveillance, and defence. Space systems (launch vehicles, guidance systems, etc.) are vital technologies that have permitted the development of the global communications revolution that is now a part of everyday life, having developed into a multi-billion dollar international commercial activity. The subject is taught by a combination of lectures, workshops and laboratory sessions, including a wide variety of practical projects. A close association with the latest research and with industrial and commercial contexts is maintained throughout the programme. As with other engineering degrees at Sussex, there is a major component of project work ensuring a sharp focus on developing practical skills. A substantial six-month project running through the spring and summer terms gives the opportunity to investigate satellite technology in detail at the front line of knowledge and research.
