The MSc programme in Planetary Science has a curriculum which is drawn from a variety of academic departments within UCL, including Physics and Astronomy, Space and Climate Physics (Mullard Space Science Laboratory), Earth Sciences, and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Birkbeck College. The programme thus has a strong interdisciplinary flavour, in line with the ethos of the Centre for Planetary Sciences at UCL/Birkbeck. The combination of taught courses, tutorials and project work allows prospective students to study a wide variety of topics related to planetary and space environments, such as: planetary interiors, atmospheres and magnetospheres; paleoclimatology; geophysics; astrobiology and the application of current knowledge to investigations of extrasolar planets - worlds in other stellar systems. A list of potential projects is available on the course website below. However, please do not restrict yourself to that list alone. You are free to approach anyone for projects within the above mentioned departments.
