Summary
Why choose this course Satellites give us an unprecedented perspective of our planet, and play a fundamental role in the smooth everyday running of a range of critical functions - including transport navigation and GPS, weather and climate monitoring, space, science and global communications.
At Surrey, we’re internationally renowned for our work in satellite communications, broadcasting, terrestrial mobile networks and the internet: essential components of modern communication and information. We can help you on your path to becoming a satellite engineer, working in a huge variety of exciting roles.
We host the Surrey Space Centre – a unique facility made up of academics and engineers from our own spin-out company, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
Our masters in Satellite Communications Engineering is taught by academics and researchers with extensive theoretical expertise and practical knowledge – so you’ll get a learning experience that really is out of this world.
What you will study Satellite communications enable wireless communication in regions where mobile networking may not be possible. This programme will give you an in-depth understanding of the engineering aspects of these important technologies.
With established links to major satellite manufacturers, operators and service providers, we’re the proud home of the world’s largest academic research group specialising in 5G and 6G communications.
Our 5G/6G Innovation Centre was founded by major national and international players in the communications industry, including the UK’s leading mobile operators. Here, the focus is on the research and development of mobile communications and wireless technology capable of meeting the needs of the digital economy and the world of tomorrow. A key element of this work involves examining how satellites will integrate with future 5G/6G technology.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in communication engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, electronic engineering, information and communication technologies, physics or telecommunication engineering, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.
