Engineering students visit Europe's leading Satellite manufacturer

Postgraduate students from the School of Engineering, Design and Technology recently visited Astrium, Europe's largest satellite manufacturer.

The visit included a site tour, where it was possible to see some of today's most advanced telecommunications and meteorological satellites under construction. The visit was largely made up of students from the Personal, Mobile and Satellite Communications and Radio Frequency Engineering MSc courses, which account for about two thirds of the School's MSc cohort of 80 students.

Professor Ray Sheriff said: "The visit to Astrium helped to re-enforce the academic material we deliver and illustrated the exciting career opportunities that are available in satellite communications and radio frequency engineering."
