Planetary Science MSc

Students develop insights into the techniques used in current planetary science, and gain in-depth experience of a particular specialised research area through project work as a member of a research team. The programme provides the professional skills necessary to play a meaningful role in industrial or academic life. The MSc is delivered in association with the Centre for Planetary Sciences at UCL/Birkbeck, and, therefore, in close collaboration with Birkbeck College, University of London. Students can study selected courses at Birkbeck’s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences as well as base their research project at Birkbeck College.

A range of Birkbeck modules will be offered each year covering topics of astrobiology and planetary sciences.
