Space Systems Engineering (Degree Apprenticeship)
Bachelor's (4 years) at University of Portsmouth
**Overview** Develop your engineering role in the space or aerospace sector with this work-based degree, and help meet the challenges faced at the next frontier in technology. With this degree apprenticeship in space systems engineering, you'll develop skills in systems engineering, hardware design, coding and the commercial application of your new abilities. You'll be studying on day release, which means you'll be able to apply your new knowledge to your workplace throughout your study, giving you and your employer a toolkit to meet the skills gap identified by the UK Space Agency. You'll learn practical methods to apply contemporary space engineering practice in your career, whether in spacecraft operation and aerospace design, or in earthbound fields that can benefit from innovation in technology. You'll also build your connections with commercial and academic operators in the sector, develop your understanding of industry's current state, and position yourself to steer a course through the possibilities of outer space. This is a new course and we're finalising the detailed information for this page. ..
Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology
Master's (4 years) at University of Portsmouth
**This is a Connected Degree** Portsmouth is the only University in the UK with the flexibility to choose when to do an optional paid placement or self-employed year. Either take a placement in your third year, or finish your studies first and complete a placement in your fourth year. You can decide if and when to take a placement after you've started your course. **Overview** 95% of the universe exists in a form we still don't understand. Explore stars, galaxies, black holes and gravitational waves – joining an international community looking for answers. On this Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology degree course, you’ll deepen your understanding of the fundamental laws of physics, and apply this knowledge to the structure and behaviour of some of the largest and smallest elements of existence. You'll be taught by and study alongside researchers from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) who play leading roles in major international projects, such as the European Space Agency Euclid satellite. You’ll graduate with mathematical and computational knowledge sought after by employers in many industries, from aerospace to finance. **BSc or MPhys?** You can study this course as a 3-year Bachelor's degree (BSc) or a 4-year integrated Master's degree (MPhys). The MPhys allows you to achieve a Master’s level degree with just one extra year of undergraduate study, further enhancing your career prospects. **Course highlights** - See physics theory in practice through visits and final year projects with aerospace companies such as BAE Systems, Airbus Defence, QinetiQ and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) - Access Hampshire Astronomical Group facilities at Clanfield Observatory, including various telescopes such as a 24-inch reflector, to observe the stars and galaxies and collect project data - Study alongside researchers from the University's physics research teams (and contribute to their work in your final project), whose research was ranked in the top 10 nationally for quality of research outputs - Use advanced technical equipment with the help of expert technical staff, including x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, electron and atomic force microscopes, various types of spectroscopy and the SCIAMA supercomputer - Develop the professional skills and standards you need as a practicing physicist, through a major research project in your final year - Access large datasets produced by international-level sky surveys, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, when you take the MPhys degree course **Accreditation** This course is accredited by the Institute of Physics (IoP). As a supporter of the Institute of Physics Project Juno, we're committed to addressing the under-representation of women in physics and gender equality in higher education and research. **Careers and opportunities** The UK government has an ambitious plan to double investment in the space economy by 2030 which means there's now high demand for skilled people to meet this growth. In fact, the sector is currently recruiting more graduates that before, and giving further training internally. Physics and astronomy graduates are earning an average of £33,500 5 years after graduation, and you've got the potential to reach a salary in the range of £40,000 to £75,000 as a senior professional, professor or researcher. What jobs can you do with a physics, astrophysics and cosmology degree? You could apply your skills and knowledge in areas such as: - cosmology - astrophysics - astronomy and theoretical physics - space systems and aerospace industry - education - scientific journalism - medical physics - finance - data analysis After the course you could also continue your studies to a PhD or other postgraduate qualification. After you leave the University, you can get help, advice and support for up to 5 years from our Careers and Employability service as you advance in your career...
