Aerospace Satellite Engineering (Extended Degree)

About this course

Aerospace satellite engineering is a highly specialised field that combines the principles of aerospace engineering with the specific demands of designing, building, and operating satellites and the ground systems that support them. Satellites underpin a remarkable range of modern services, from global navigation and weather forecasting to telecommunications, Earth observation, and scientific research. The engineering challenges involved in making systems that must function reliably in the harsh environment of space, with no possibility of maintenance, while managing extreme mass and power constraints, are among the most demanding in the engineering profession. At the University of Northumbria at Newcastle, this extended degree programme gives you an additional year of structured study compared to the standard three-year format, providing extra time to develop the breadth of knowledge a
