Issues in Educational Neuroscience (PHDE0022)

This is a core module for the MA/MSc in Educational Neuroscience, and is designed to provide a context for integrating material from developmental cognitive neuroscience and psychology of education. Topics covered include the underpinning philosophy and objectives of educational neuroscience, its application to literacy, numeracy, science education and socio-emotional development, and the potential of IT-based intervention strategies. There is an emphasis throughout on seminars alongside lectures in order to ensure robust discussions and exploration of the limitations and benefits of this new field. It also involves students presenting orally an outline of their dissertation research topics, so that these can benefit from similar scrutiny. This module is not available to students from outside the host programme.

Assessment  for this module is via a presentation (20% weighting) and an essay (80% weighting). Students must achieve a pass grade in both assignments to pass the module overall.

Planetary Science Research Project (PHAS0071)

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.
