Overview

Careers

First launched in 2021, the University of Leicester is offering a research-led and practitioner-informed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course on the politics of space security, space policy, and international space law and regulations.

University of Leicester's The Politics of Space Security and Space Law is geared towards professionals of all levels and organisations of any size involved in any part of the space sector, be it military, civil, commercial, or academic.

Space policy and space power have never been as visible or important in national security and international relations as before. Many new actors and sectors are waking up to the fact that outer space is more than just rocket science – it’s a place that has real opportunities and impacts for almost every sector of political and economic activity on Earth. The democratisation of space and increasing commercialisation of space sectors is leading to a new wave of space activities.
