MSc in
Astronautics and Space Engineering
The space sector contributes 7.5bn per annum to the UK economy alone,
and space activity across Europe and the world as a whole continues to thrive.
There is a continuing need for talented employees with a good understanding of
spacecraft systems engineering, coupled with a broad range of technical skills.
The masters course in space engineering was established at Cranfield University
in 1987 to meet the requirement of the space industry for high quality employees
with relevant skills. The course has evolved since then as needs have changed,
and we are constantly working to ensure our curriculum continues to prepare our
graduates for highly successful careers in the space sector. We liaise closely with
space companies and agencies, who actively support the course by proposing
research projects, providing important course modules and specialist guest
lectures, attending student presentations, offering feedback on course content
and, of course, by employing our graduates.
The MSc in Astronautics and Space Engineering (ASE) is suitable for graduates
in engineering, physics or mathematics, and will prepare you for a career in this
exciting field, from Earth observation to planetary exploration, launch vehicles
to spacecraft operations, and much more.
