The University College will exploit strong research networks and the intellectual curiosity of its staff to address bold scientific questions, transfer forefront knowledge and drive innovative discoveries that impact global challenges in Space technology.

All Students of Galaxy Space University College are expected to conduct their research with the highest level of integrity and commitment to excellence and to follow the University’s Code of Conduct in all interactions.

The Excellence Initiative of the African Union and Ghanaian governments to promote science and technology with a unique opportunity to boost its research profile as a nation by strengthening the natural sciences and fostering interdisciplinary research. These were the first steps in Galaxy Space University College steady transformation into an Integrated Interdisciplinary of Technical and research Oriented University and also towards convergence.

Programmes would include Astronomy, Climate Change, Astrophysics, Space Studies, Space Engineering, Space Medicine, Solar Systems, Space Law, Aviation

The successful implementation of the institutional strategy is reflected in the reputation of Galaxy Space University College graduates.

Galaxy Space University College in Winneba, Ghana visibly highlights the technical research prowess of the Space University. The entrepreneurial mindset and collaboration with industry partners fostered on the Campus will benefit both students and staff of the University College.

The many stimulating space ideas will have an impact in Ghana, the entire African continent and the world as a whole. An innovative Space knowledge community is evolving that is closely networked with some of the world’s leading research and industry partners.

The University will strive to promote the dissemination of Space science knowledge and to facilitate space technological progress through adherence to the core principles of excellence and quality. Strong regional, national and international networking with partners in Space technology and industry are an important aspect in these endeavors to promote Space on the African Continent.

The range of services offered by our faculties serves to forge a unique link between space research and technical on the one hand, and the space engineering, space economics and the other. This is indeed a significant achievement for any technical university.

Broad-based educational programs that encompass all disciplines relevant to space scientific, engineering, economic, regulatory, political, and organization that will provide students with a multi-dimensional perspective, vital for understanding and effectively dealing with complex space development and utilization issues.

Global networking opportunities and intensive teamwork practices at Galaxy Space University College give its diverse student body the edge when performing in competitive and collaborative international space programs.

Interacting with people from a variety of different backgrounds: academic, cultural, and national, with varied approaches to problem solving and occasionally conflicting objectives. Preparing students for the multicultural environment of today’s world space community.

The University College researchers will push the boundaries of human knowledge, fostering global collaboration, and contributing to the development of sustainable and innovative solutions for Earth and beyond.

Space exploration has far-reaching effects in our daily lives, influencing technological advancements, medical research and groundbreaking scientific discoveries. With a rich history in the industry, Galaxy Space University College will produce alumni astronauts in the coming years of experience in educating future space professionals from Ghana.  The university’s emphasis on space technologies and systems capitalizes on its legacy as the Space University, unparalleled research facilities, and interdisciplinary insights from various fields — including: business, communications, economics, education, healthcare, modeling and simulation, philosophy, political science, and STEM.

Through the ages, Space has inspired wonder, questions, cultural and artistic works and technology innovation. It has the potential to concern all students and researchers covering a broad range of subjects and applications.

 

 

 

 

Space for societal challenges 

The African Union space policy aims to tackle some of the most pressing challenges today, such as fighting climate change or managing natural resources. Space technology, data and services have proven to be indispensable in the life of Africans and for sustainable development. For example, The African Union space data is transforming our daily lives with services such as: increasing efficiency in agriculture and fisheries, helping regions and people access knowledge and information, improving crisis response, protecting the environment and helping to tackle climate change, increasing security, improving citizens’ health, optimizing transport.

Space sustainability 

Working on sustainable space is essential to guarantee the ability of all human beings to continue to use outer space over the long term. There is a need to make the space sector more sustainable and to work on how technology and the environment can thrive together. The University College is also conscious that the proliferation of space debris remains the most serious risk of the sustainability of space activities and will contribute to the European effort to address this issue. Moreover, access to space in a sustainable way is a key challenge to be addressed for future missions. Space resources and settlement 

How humans can live and work beyond Earth is a subject that raises interest, questions and some apprehension.

Over the past years, the concept of permanent, autonomous human habitation of locations outside Earth (Moon, Mars, in orbit) has been the subject of literary, scientific or artistic work. Training and research in space exploration can contribute to different domains such as protection of Earth’s environment, medicine, agriculture and space economy. Likewise, enhancing visionary ideas and research can lead to breakthroughs and contribute to innovative aerospace concepts.

In this “New Space” business arena, comprehensive higher education is critically needed to realize the abovementioned ambitions. Student-centered and innovative educational approaches are key for transferring researchbased innovative knowledge, competences and skills to take the next wave of this revolutionary approach to space exploration and use.

Focusing on space education, research and innovation in Ghana and Africa will address key societal challenges, nurture job and industrial growth and ensure Africa’s autonomy in space technology. This will also contribute to address the growing need for high skilled workers and more labor market relevant skills to ensure productivity growth and competitiveness in the space sector.
