Master of Space Science and Practice
The Master of Space Science and Practice at Victoria University of Wellington is designed to meet the needs of today’s growing space sector. You’ll gain specialist knowledge in space science, along with practical skills that connect to fields like engineering, education, health, and government.

Climate Change and Planetary Health (Online)
The Climate Change and Planetary Health (Online) programme from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine will help you build confidence in assessing links, anticipating problems, finding solutions and intervening early.

Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces
Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces MSc course offered at Imperial bridges the gap between undergraduate physics and maths, and the research frontier.

Physics with Quantum Dynamics
This Physics with Quantum Dynamics MSc course from Imperial is open to both physicists and BSc graduates from mathematics, chemistry or engineering disciplines.

Spatial Planning
The Spatial Planning degree from UCL equips you with the skills to address complex planning challenges and develop sustainable, resilient communities.

Astrophysics
Taught topics reflect our world-leading strengths in theoretical, observational and instrumentational research and include Cosmology, Advanced General Relativity and Gravitational Waves, Instrumentation for Astronomy and Techniques in Astrophysics.

Astrophysics
Explore the darkest reaches of the universe with our Astrophysics course delivered by Queen Mary University of London and gain a detailed insight into the fundamentals of astrophysics. We offer one of the broadest ranges of higher-level astrophysics modules in the UK, so you can create a bespoke MSc tailored to your own interests.

Human Geography - Society and Space
The Human Geography - Society and Space programme from University of Bristol provides you with a robust grounding in social theory, combined with options for expert training in qualitative, quantitative, and digital research methods.

Astrobiology - Pre-Master's Programme
This one-year (2-semester) programme offers successful students guaranteed progression to a postgraduate degree at a top UK university. Learn more at the Astrobiology - Pre-Master's Programme at OnCampus London from Birkbeck, University of London.

Space Science
Space Science is the study of all planetary systems. Applications range from Earth observation satellites providing data on anthropogenic climate change, to space exploration missions and analyses of extraterrestrial materials that seek to answer the question: is there life elsewhere in the Galaxy? The UK Space Agency has identified substantial skills gaps in the current UK space sector.

Physics and Astronomy
The Physics and Astronomy programme of the University of Glasgow covers a wide range of topics, including solar and plasma physics, cosmology and radio astronomy. Much of our research in solar physics concentrates on the theory, diagnostics and observation of solar flares, complementing our work in more general plasma theory and atmospheric plasmas.

Graduate Diploma in Geospatial Intelligence
Learn how to manage spatial data and remotely sensed imagery with the Graduate Diploma in Geospatial Intelligence programme from Curtin University.

Astrophysics and Relativity
Black holes, gravitational waves and gamma ray bursts are at the heart of some of the most exciting recent discoveries about our universe - and they're all topics that you'll examine on this Astrophysics and Relativity course from Dublin City University.

Gravity, Particles and Fields
Have you ever wondered how black holes form and what they look like on the inside? Do you want to know how the universe started or what is its fate? Have you ever imagined extra dimensions, new particles or new interactions? Learn more at Gravity, Particles and Fields offered by University of Nottingham.

Data Intensive Astrophysics
The MSc Data Intensive Astrophysics has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed for a career in a range of areas including academic research in astronomy or astrophysics as well technical, development and engineering positions in related scientific fields.

Cosmology
Explore cosmology and astrophysics at an advanced level, with an emphasis on theoretical cosmology. At University of Sussex our focus is on theoretical and numerical Cosmology in the pre- and post-recombination universe.

Astronautics and Space Engineering
The Astronautics and Space Engineering programme offered by University of Surrey provides students with the specialised knowledge and skills needed to design, build, and operate space systems for a wide range of applications, from satellite communications and Earth observation to exploration missions and space tourism.

Astronomy
Explore astronomy and astrophysics at an advanced level, focusing on observational, theoretical or computational astronomy. This Astronomy course at University of Sussex is one of only three full-time, broad-based astronomy MSc courses in the UK.

Artificial Intelligence and Space Technology
This unique Master’s in Artificial Intelligence and Space Technology from University of Bradford is the first of its kind in the UK.

Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences
Astrobiology and the planetary sciences are rigorous interdisciplinary subjects. The Astrobiology and Planetary Sciences programme is offered at The University of Edinburgh.
