The major component of the MRes is the dissertation which accounts for 150 out of the 180 credits of the final mark for the MRes. The research component will be assessed by the following three elements:

a) Written dissertation (worth 75%) marked by the main supervisor and a second member of staff in the field of research who will be the second supervisor, and moderated by the Programme Director.

b) Oral presentation (worth 5%) of the work to the Programme Director (or nominee), supervisors and at least two other members of staff.

c) Viva voce panel (worth 20%) with the supervisor, Programme Director (or nominee) and another member of academic staff in the field of research who will be the second supervisor.

Outline:

The module provides a broad introduction to the study of the planets and other bodies in our Solar System. This includes their origins and evolution, interiors, surfaces, atmospheres, and magnetospheres. The importance of orbital dynamics for planets, moons, small bodies, and ring systems will be covered, as well as a brief overview of the Sun, and how planetary bodies interact with the solar wind. An introduction to exoplanetary science is also provided. The latest information from recent and ongoing planetary missions and remote observations is included throughout the course material.

Aims:

The course will use basic physics and mathematics to understand the formation and evolution of solar and extrasolar planetary systems, focusing on composition, physical environment, and state-of-the-art research.

Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of problem solving tutorials and additional discussion.

In addition to timetabled lecture and PST hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.
