There are restrictions on RPL for some courses and fees may be payable for certain claims. If you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for specific modules through your previous learning, it may be possible to exempt you from those modules, and for you to be awarded credit based on your previous qualifications/experience. If your experience exceeds the typical requirements for entry to the programme, a process called recognition of prior learning (RPL) may allow you to enter your course at a point appropriate to your previous learning and experience. The University of Surrey recognises that many students enter their higher education course with valuable knowledge and skills developed through a range of professional, vocational and community contexts.

Many student projects are conducted in collaboration with industry and focus on real applications, bridging the gap between university education and the end product.

ResearchĪt Surrey Space Centre, we carry out applied research most relevant to space engineering, ranging from whole mission developments and execution, to scientific investigations into specific technologies that support their deployment in the space industry. This is a large local company that builds satellites commercially and carries out industrially- sponsored research. This is a multidisciplinary course and projects are often closely associated with ongoing space projects carried out by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. Study is taken to a high -level in both theory and practice, exploring the specialist areas of space physics, mechanics, orbits and space-propulsion systems, as well as the system and electronic design of space vehicles. Our MSc aims to provide a high-level postgraduate qualification relating to the design of space missions using satellites.
