Bachelor of Science in Planetary Exploration with Astronomy and Astrobiology
Program Overview
This is an exciting time to study planetary science. New data is being returned by spacecraft throughout the solar system and there is considerable scientific interest in the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Our BSc Planetary Exploration with Astronomy and Astrobiology offers you a broad introduction to planetary science and exploration, including the geological, astronomical and astrobiological aspects.
You will study subjects ranging from astronomy and astrobiology to geophysics and remote sensing. You will develop skills in the manipulation of scientific data and critical assessment of scientific hypotheses and experience actual scientific research during project work. On completion of this planetary exploration degree you will have gained:
- knowledge of the key principles of planetary exploration and the history of space exploration
- understanding of the astronomical context of the solar system and how this knowledge has been obtained
- understanding of the processes involved in the geological evolution of the Earth and the other planets and their moons.
Our teaching philosophy is based around flexibility, allowing you to fit the degree around your lifestyle. We embrace new technology and methods to make our degrees accessible to all and have been running remote as well as on-campus lectures for more than 20 years. This means you can attend classes with our internationally distinguished researchers in our world-class laboratories in London or you can watch live streams/recorded lectures at home using our cutting-edge online teaching platform. You are free to mix both these methods to find the best balance for you.
