Space Education in England

The ‘optical navigation’ project that 26-year-old Burak Köse prepared together with Asst. Prof. Dr. Fabrizio Pinto, a faculty member in IUE Department of Aerospace Engineering, played a major role in his acceptance to the University of Manchester. Köse, who worked on a special project to determine the position of spacecraft using a camera, attracted the attention of officials in Manchester. With his academic achievements and a statement of purpose explaining why he wanted to study at the University of Manchester, Köse earned the right to receive education in aerospace.

I WILL DO MY BEST

Expressing his pride and happiness in going to England, Köse said, “I feel fortunate to have been accepted to a university that has proven itself and is the dream of many young people around the world. I will have the opportunity to further develop the education I received in my department with a master's degree. I will do my best to make the most of this opportunity. I want to work as an industrial researcher in the aerospace field and advance my career in this direction. England is one of the best stops for this. Whether I stay abroad or return to my country is something I cannot say right now. Time will tell.”

UNIQUE AND AMBITIOUS

IUE graduate Burak Köse continued as follows: “I had the chance to present the ‘optical navigation’ project, which I prepared with Asst. Prof. Dr. Fabrizio Pinto, who has made great contributions to me, at the congress of the Turkish Physical Society in Bodrum. There was a scientific community at the congress, including the president of the European Physical Society. I received positive feedback about the project there. It was a study that drew attention due to its highly technical and intricate details. To be accepted by such prestigious universities, your project needs to be unique and ambitious. At this point, I would like to especially thank Professor Fabrizio.”
