The Space Exploration Specialisation will introduce you to space and planetary sciences and you will learn how to apply that knowledge to scientific, social and ethical issues. You'll also use digital technologies and learn to gather and interpret data that are relevant to planetary and terrestrial geoscience with broad applications to space exploration and Earth observation.

 

What you'll learn

• have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in Space Exploration that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of the field, GC1
• can apply their narrower knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within Space Exploration, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
• can gather and interpret relevant data within Space Exploration to inform judgements that include some reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with Space Exploration, and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
• display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
