Artificial Intelligence and Space Technology
Master's (1 year) at University of Bradford
**This unique Master’s in Artificial Intelligence and Space Technology is the first of its kind in the UK.** The programme is co-designed and co-delivered with industry. It aims to provide you with state-of-the-art knowledge and industry-ready skills for several of the top fastest growing jobs, as identified in the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025. It equips you for a career in either the booming space sector (with the global space economy projected to grow to £490 billion by 2030), or in AI and Data Analytics (which are among the world’s top 3 fastest growing jobs). You will develop excellent grounding and skills in: - the space ecosystem and its various enabling technologies - machine learning (ML) - big data analytics and visualisation - advanced applications of AI in space data and systems You will learn how space technology plays a critical role in our daily lives. Satellites orbiting over 160 km from the Earth can: - connect us with our friends, families and colleagues - facilitate road, ocean and air navigation - support homeland security and disaster relief - enable smart and sustainable agriculture - forecast the weather - gather vital information about our planet, such as greenhouse gas concentration, melting glaciers and polar ice, deforestation and land use, ocean acidification, coral reef health and much more You will qualify as a data scientist and AI/ML engineer who understands space technologies including geospatial, navigational, communication, exploration and space cybersecurity. You will be able to fill various roles within the space industry, or apply your AI and data analytics skills to work in other sectors of the economy. You may also choose to study further towards a PhD...
Satellite Systems Engineering MSc
Master's (1 year) at University of Bradford
The University of Bradford is offering an exciting opportunity to those who want to pursue their career in the space/satellite sector. This programme is unique in covering not only the three pillars of space/satellite systems: communications, earth observation and navigation, but also artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed systems, which are keys to the future satellite systems. You will benefit from being taught by a team of world renowned technical experts in space/satellite engineering and state-of-the-art space laboratory facilities. You'll gain theoretical knowledge and have hands-on experience in constructing a cubesat/pocket cube. You'll also develop software modules for the Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TTC) system, which are key components of a space system, either as a part of the taught modules or as an MSc project. You'll be supported by state-of-the-art space lab facilities, including a cleanroom for the construction of the cubesat/pocket cube and a small scale TTC control centre. Placement opportunities Both short-term and long-term placement opportunities, either in industry or in an academic institution, are open, providing a career gateway to students studying on this programme. There are potential placement opportunities with Satellite Applications Catapult and Airbus. Satellite Applications Catapult will co-supervise up to two 3-6 month student placements per annum. Students accepted for the placement will receive a stipend directly from Catapult. In addition, Catapult has an internship programme that offers MSc graduates the opportunity to apply for a graduate placement at Catapult for up to 18 months. The SENSE Earth Observation Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Leeds also offers summer internship opportunities to suitably qualified students choosing MSc projects co-supervised by SENSE academics. In addition, the Space Placements in Industry (SPIN) scheme managed by the UK Space Agency and supported by the Satellite Application Catapult provides placement opportunities for those considering employment in the space sector. It connects space sector organisations who want to find the most talented and enthusiastic people to ensure the future success of their business. Students who hope to work in the space sector and are keen to develop new skills, applying and building on the knowledge they've acquired in their studies to date, are welcomed to apply through the Catapult website. ..
