The course aims to provide students with a broad and in-depth knowledge of major elements in space engineering. The Space Sector is a growth area as identified, for example, in the Welsh Government’s Space Strategy (Wales: a sustainable space nation https://gov.wales/wales-sustainable-space-nation-html ) and is underpinned by a strong research base. At Aberystwyth, we have a track record of international collaboration in Space Missions to study the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with expertise in modelling, data analysis and instrumentation (optics, robotics).
Specific educational aims of the programme are to:
- provide advanced knowledge and develop skills in the field of space engineering;
- provide knowledge and develop the understanding of students in solar & planetary science, space exploration, computational modelling, data analysis and instrumentation design, testing & calibration;
- develop theoretical and practical skills to address complex problems in space applications;
- develop discipline-related professional and research skills;
- encourage students to analyse results critically and to interpret findings in terms of current knowledge;
- develop skills of students to investigate a discipline-related topic in an individual project;
- encourage effective communication of discipline-related topics through oral and written reports.

Upon successful completion of the scheme students should be able to:
- demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of space engineering and its application to space missions;
- demonstrate advanced knowledge and understanding of solar and planetary science and its application to space exploration;
- address complex problems in space engineering and its applications, supported by computer-aided packages;
- plan, design and implement a discipline-related individual project;
- critically analyse and interpret results in terms of current knowledge and communicate findings orally and in written reports.
