MSc in Satellite Engineering - Programme Aims
 
The programme is designed to meet the following aims:
 
(a) To provide advanced education and training for students who intend to upgrade their knowledge and to seek a higher-level career in the area of satellite engineering and management; 
 
(b) To enable students to develop their competence and increase their competitiveness in the job market to become the backbone of the space industry;
 
(c) To enable students to have a good understanding and mastery of the most up-to-date and advanced technologies in the area of satellite engineering, and
 
(d) To enable students to apply their learned knowledge and skills to solve problems encountered in practice.

 
Characteristics
 
The Master of Science in Satellite Engineering programme is designed to complement the rapidly evolving global space economy. It offers comprehensive coverage of both the engineering fundamentals and practical applications of satellites, including satellite orbital dynamics, spacecraft dynamics and propulsion systems, spacecraft testing and verification, satellite payload and sensor design, as well as satellite navigation and remote sensing. In addition, the curriculum features innovative courses on emerging topics such as the new space economy. This programme equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel and remain competitive in today’s fast-growing space industry.
 
Students in this programme may take a practical research project (a 9-credit dissertation) designed to incorporate career development skills.
 
The mixed mode of study allows students to study either full-time or part-time. Local students can vary their study mode from semester to semester according to their personal preferences. This flexibility is not available to non-local students, who are constrained by visa requirements.
