The?Surrey Space Centre is the largest UK academic centre for space engineering research. With a host of expert academics and close links with industry, the Centre offers the ideal research environment for the next generation of space scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs.

As a PhD candidate within the Surrey Space Centre, you鈥檒l work alongside academics, postdoctoral researchers and fellow postgraduate researchers as they push the boundaries of low-cost small satellites and develop new innovative technologies. You鈥檒l also benefit from strong academic-industrial strategic partnerships with both Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) and Airbus DS.

Throughout your research, you鈥檒l have access to our world-class academic research facilities. These cover:

Advanced multidisciplinary small satellite and space system engineering techniques for Earth orbit and interplanetary space
Innovative communications
Remote sensing
Robotics and space science payloads for small satellites
Enabling technologies for low-cost space exploitation and planetary exploration.

What you will study

Postgraduate researchers are registered for a maximum of four years鈥� full-time study. You鈥檒l be allocated two Surrey-based academic supervisors, in addition to any external collaborative supervisors. Your principal supervisor will be an expert in your area of research and will monitor your research progress. The supervisors will help you define the initial objective and scope of your research, and to refine these as the project evolves. They鈥檒l direct you to resources to help you learn the necessary experimental, theoretical or computing skills, and they鈥檒l advise you on the completion of your PhD and the content of your thesis. In many cases, external collaborative supervisors are appointed to contribute specific expertise or facilitate access to resources or organisations.

Your office will be located in the Surrey Space Centre building and you鈥檒l typically share space alongside researchers with related interests. As a PhD student, you鈥檒l be assigned to a research group that includes a team of academics, postdoctoral researchers, guest scientists and fellows.
