Satellite systems are now the pre-eminent communications technology. Integrated with the global fibre optic backbone, satellites are used for TV broadcasting, mobile communications, internet access, navigation (Global Positioning System), environmental monitoring, surveillance, and defence.
Space systems (launch vehicles, guidance systems, etc) are vital technologies that have permitted the development of the global communications revolution that is now a part of everyday life, having developed into a multi-billion dollar international commercial activity.
This MSc is taught by a combination of lectures, workshops and laboratory sessions, including a wide variety of practical projects. A close association with the latest research and with industrial and commercial contexts is maintained throughout the programme. As with other engineering degrees at Sussex, there is a major component of project work, ensuring a sharp focus on developing practical skills.
