Course summary
Find out how solid planetary bodies are explored using geological and geophysical principles.This degree focuses on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, along with geological and geophysical processes in the Solar System. You will also learn about geosciences, physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, and computing as part of an interdisciplinary degree.During the first two years, you'll take core subjects alongside students from other Earth Science degrees.As part of our courses, you'll engage in fieldwork, which allows you to put knowledge into practice and develop valuable skills.Some students have the option to work in the field mapping the geology of areas such as the Greek Cyclades, French Massif Central, Pyrenees, French Alps, and North West Scotland.The third year consists of an agreed programme of study at an approved university in either Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland or the USA. We currently have exchange agreements with:- Australian National University, Australia- University of British Columbia, Canada- University of Strasbourg, France - University of Utrecht, Netherlands- University of Barcelona, Spain- ETH Zurich, Switzerland- MIT, USA- University of California, USA This is an integrated year abroad so the grades you achieve will count directly towards your Imperial degree. In your fourth and final year, you'll complete your studies at Imperial where you will undertake a research project.The planetary sciences are extremely popular due to the abundance of active and upcoming missions, requiring students to know the fundamentals of geosciences but also to be familiar with current knowledge and research problems.
