Course summary

Our MSc Satellite Data for Sustainable Development is a globally unique Masters degree which embraces the UN Sustainable Development Goals to offer a cross-disciplinary approach to the teaching of satellite applications, space system design, data science and sustainability.

The applied learning activities of the MSc programme is strategically aligned with the goals and interests of the University of Strathclydes Centre for Sustainable Development, to give students a wider exposure to the global movement that surrounds the 17 UN SDGs.

The course will have a focus on the practical use of satellite data in direct applications to SDGs through the analysis of case studies and engagement, through student projects and invited talks with start-ups and NGOs actively working in the field.

Students will gain an insight into the broad use of satellite data across various industries and will be equipped with the necessary technical skills and critical thinking to understand the challenges we are facing globally and develop innovative solutions, through project-based learning (some of them group-based) and a final individual project.

Careers: High-calibre professionals with satellite applications or data skills are in demand throughout the world.

This course provides the skills to exploit the knowledge gained to meet the global industrial demand for highly-qualified people in the area of satellite applications, data science, and development organisations targeted at the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
