The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications offers a Space Systems Engineering stream in the Master of Engineering Science degree. Unlike other programs, which tend to be application-specific (e.g. master's in satellite communications), this stream will focus on the systems engineering aspect of spacecraft and space systems before delving into the areas of applications of these systems. Thus, the stream comprises a complement of core and elective courses, and a year-long practical project. 

These courses give students a comprehensive foundation in space systems engineering in all its aspects from the space segment to the ground segment and typical applications. 

The stream serves as a point of entry to a profession in the space industry, or to a research career in space.

Required Background

Students need a four year equivalent Engineering degree with a minimum 65% average^† in Mechanical Engineering or similar.
