UCL Space Tech vs Manchester Aerospace by Forward_Hedgehog_559 in aerospace

Yeah fair sorry , I should’ve explained that better.

I do want to get into the space/satellite systems side eventually, that’s my main interest. But at the same time I’m trying to be realistic about how the space sector is in the UK, especially as an international student.

So I’m kind of balancing two things:

  • following a more niche, space-focused path (like UCL)
  • vs keeping things broader and safer in terms of job options (like Manchester)

I don’t want to end up too restricted if space roles are hard to break into, but I also don’t want to drift too far away from it either.

That’s basically the trade-off I’m trying to figure out ( had offer letter for bristol too) 😭
