Bachelor of Science - Space Science

Victoria University of Wellington

Space Science looks at all parts of the space industry-from the technical innovations needed to go into space, to the ethical and legal issues that develop as we push out of Earth’s orbit. You’ll learn about the basic scientific nature of the space environment and the technical aspects of getting into space. Delve into the history of astronomy and space exploration, and find out about the importance of the night sky in Māori and Pasifika culture. At the end of your degree you’ll have an in depth understanding of the space sector and strong mathematical and computing skills-helping to open employment pathways in both the growing space sector and other technical sectors. As a Bachelor of Science (BSc) student at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, you’ll absorb knowledge, observe phenomena, experiment with ideas, and maybe even be part of making new discoveries. With a strong practical focus, a BSc will take you beyond the lecture theatre with hands-on laboratories, field trips, and summer scholarship opportunities.
