Planetary Science
Master's (1 year) at University of Manchester
Research in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences covers three main research themes ; earth and planetary science, environment and society, and life on earth. Planetary Scienceapplies a fundamental knowledge of isotopes and chemistry together with new observations to understand natural systems. Together with a strong history of designing and building many of its own instruments, group research interests extend from extraterrestrial systems and early solar system processes to addressing some of the key resource and environmental problems society faces today. We work on precious samples from the moon, mars, rare meteorites and samples returned by NASA missions. Research includes understanding the processes forming the solar system starting material, the rate and timing of the formation of meteorites and early solar system bodies leading to the formation of the terrestrial planets. We have projects that study how the Earth's mantle works and those that reveal the workings of volcanic systems in place like Iceland. We use isotopes to trace ocean circulation and climate change, investigate safe carbon dioxide sequestration and understand drinking water contamination processes that can affect millions. ..

By choosing specific options in the second semester the degree programme can be tailored to provide specialisms in either Aeronautics or Systems. **WHY THIS PROGRAMME** - Aeronautical Engineering at Glasgow is ranked 3rd in the UK and 1st in Scotland (Complete University Guide 2020). - The University of Glasgow has been the home of aerospace research for over 60 years. This long-standing activity has culminated in the Division of Aerospace Sciences having internationally recognised expertise in all areas of aeronautics and aerospace systems. - Students in this programme can benefit from access to our outstanding facilities: including several wind tunnels, a flight simulation lab, an autonomous unmanned vehicle (UAV) laboratory, helicopter test rig laboratories, structural testing apparatus and computer labs for modelling and simulation. - The school has an Athena Swan Bronze Award, demonstrating the school’s commitment to supporting women in scientific studies and careers, and to improving the working environment for all. **PROGRAMME STRUCTURE** Modes of delivery of the MSc in Aerospace Engineering include lectures, seminars and tutorials and allow students the opportunity to take part in lab, project and team work. The summer period is dedicated to project work, with either academic or industrial placements providing the context for your project. **Semester 1 Core Courses** FLIGHT DYNAMICS M CONTROL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN M NAVIGATION SYSTEMS M SIMULATION OF AEROSPACE SYSTEMS SPACE FLIGHT DYNAMICS M PHYSICS OF FLUIDS M **Semester 2 Optional Courses** **Select a team project from:** AEROSPACE DESIGN PROJECT M* AEROSPACE SYSTEMS TEAM DESIGN PROJECT M **Select five courses from the following:** ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS 5 [[[ENG5263]]] or AIRCRAFT VIBRATION AND AEROELASTICITY 4* AEROSPACE PROPULSION M AIRCRAFT HANDLING QUALITIES AND CONTROL 5* (subject to availability on flight test course and may incur an additional charge) AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS M* COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 5 or COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 4 FAULT DETECTION, ISOLATION AND RECOVERY* HIGH SPEED AERODYNAMICS 4 INDUSTRIAL AERODYNAMICS M* [[[ENG5072]]]** ADVANCED CONTROL 5 ROTORCRAFT AEROMECHANICS M SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS 5 [[[ENG5280]]] 1 star signifies courses that constitute the specialism in Aeronautics 2 stars signifies courses that constitute the specialism in Systems **Summer** Project or dissertation MSC PROJECT or DISSERTATION PROJECT You will undertake an individual project or dissertation work in the summer period (May–August). This will give you an opportunity to apply and consolidate the course material and enhance your ability to do independent work, as well as present results in the most appropriate format. Project and dissertation options are closely linked to staff research interests. September entry students have a choice of management dissertation topics in addition to aerospace engineering projects, and January entry students have a choice of aerospace engineering projects. ..
