The University of Surrey has a long-standing reputation for excellence in education, research and innovation. Ranked among the UK's top universities for research quality, teaching and student satisfaction, Surrey combines academic rigour with real-world impact. Few examples better capture Surrey's ambition and global influence than the Surrey Space Centre (SSC). Founded in the late 1970s by Sir Martin Sweeting, SSC pioneered the small satellite revolution and helped shape the modern space industry, leading to the creation of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), a globally recognised spinout headquartered on campus. With more than 45 years of expertise and over 50 space missions delivered, SSC has established itself as a centre of excellence in space engineering and astronautics, renowned for innovation in small satellite design, autonomy, propulsion, Earth observation and in-orbit servicing.
