"This programme is ideal for graduates of Physics, Engineering and closely related disciplines, who want to transfer their expertise to the fast-growing global space sector. Ireland is a member of the European Space Agency (ESA) and dozens of Irish companies and researchers are involved in major international space missions. UCD is building Ireland’s first satellite, EIRSAT-1.\n\nCourse highlights include a hands-on CubeSat lab, payload development and satellite systems engineering of a high-altitude balloon experiment and participation in an international mission design team project. A 3-month internship provides relevant training for industry or research and can lead to employment. Students have completed internships at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), ESA, NASA-Ames, Cosine, ENBIO, InnaLabs, Skytek, Eblana Photonics and Réaltra.\nProgramme Outcomes:\nDescribe the state-of-the-art of knowledge in space science and technology\nApply acquired knowledge and technical skills in the space industry, or in graduate research\nDraw on a suite of relevant professional and transferable skills\nEngage actively in professional networking within the field \nParticipate constructively in multi-disciplinary, international teams"@en . . . . . . . .
