Fife College is thrilled to announce the launch of new courses to support Scotland’s fast growing space industry. This initiative marks a pioneering venture for us, introducing an entirely new area of study aimed at equipping our student community with the skills and knowledge to pursue employment in companies building satellites or using space data.

Our space sector covers everything from building electronic components to full satellites, controlling them from the ground and then using the information collected to track pollution, understand weather or even manage a farm. Scotland is also forecast to be the first country in Europe to launch a rocket later this year. It is such an exciting time to be part of the space industry and Fife College is delighted to launch space skills programmes.
