This MSc in Space Science and Technology qualification looks at space science and the technology that underpins it. Developed in consultation with the UK Space Agency and the space industry, it's suitable for developing a career in the space sector. This MSc will equip you with the skills to conduct individual and team scientific investigations using space-based instrumentation.

This degree is one of five tracks in the professional master’s program at Rice housed in the Wiess School of Natural Sciences and focuses on training students in Space Engineering and Science with the intent of creating new options for those students interested in working in the space technology industry or related government entities, e.g. NASA, as well as governmental relations positions in non-profit organizations, industry and academic institutions. These master’s degrees are designed for students seeking to gain further technical core expertise coupled with enhanced management, communication, and leadership skills instilling a level of scholastic proficiency that exceeds that of the bachelor’s level, and creating the cross-functional aptitudes needed in modern industry and government.

Explore the depths of the universe through multidisciplinary research as you dive into an area that most interests you, whether it be general relativity, theoretical astrophysics, observational or instrumentation development, or another area related to astrophysics.

Explore cosmology and astrophysics at an advanced level, with an emphasis on theoretical cosmology. Our focus is on theoretical and numerical cosmology in the pre-and post-recombination universe. This course is one of only two MScs in this subject area in the UK. It’s for you if you have graduated from a physics- or applied mathematics-based degree with a substantial physics component and wish to learn how to apply your knowledge to cosmology.

Explore astronomy and astrophysics at an advanced level, focusing on observational, theoretical or computational astronomy. This course is one of only three full-time, broad-based astronomy MSc courses in the UK. This course is for you if you graduated with a physics- or applied mathematics-based degree with a substantial physics component, and wish to learn how to apply your knowledge to astronomy.

DCU's MSc in Astrophysics and Relativity offers expertise in astrophysics and general relativity, along with valuable data analysis and computing skills. Ideal for physics, astrophysics, or mathematics graduates, this course unlocks exciting career opportunities in science, technology, and beyond.

This is a highly multi-disciplinary degree which covers broad areas of science, engineering, and statistics, as related to space science and technology. Our MSc programme has a strong focus on Chinese Space Science. Our MSc programme is composed of 60 credits of courses. Students must enrol in 6 courses (36 credits) of “core” (compulsory) courses, offered mainly in the first semester. Students may then choose 3 “elective” courses out of a broad range of courses. In addition, students must carry out a “capstone project” by enrolling in the 6-credit course SPSC7031. Students are encouraged to approach faculty members in their areas of interest to choose a project. The final project will typically be undertaken over the course of the second semester. The curriculum of the MSc in Space Science is the same for both full-time and part-time modes of study.
