Our MSc Astrobiology gives you the unique opportunity to gain a comprehensive grounding in the rapidly growing field of astrobiology. This highly interdisciplinary topic aims to understand the origins, distribution, evolution and future of life in the universe.

In recent years, research and public interest in astrobiology has expanded. This has been greatly driven by incredible discoveries in areas ranging from:

improving our understanding of the conditions under which life first arose on our planet
the search for life elsewhere in the solar system
the study of potentially habitable planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.

This MSc Astrobiology explores such discoveries and is the first postgraduate degree dedicated to astrobiology in the UK. It is ideal if you are a graduate of the sciences, such as in biology, astronomy, chemistry or geology, with an ambition to undertake research in astrobiology at MPhil or PhD level but with undergraduate study that did not entail the interdisciplinary breadth that a subject like astrobiology demands.

We draw on the experience of our staff, who are recognised leaders in astrobiology research and education, and our strong connections with partner institutions in the University of London to offer this novel and pioneering course. Being of considerable breadth and depth, it will equip you with the knowledge, experience and tools required to make significant contributions to astrobiology research and leadership in the UK and beyond.
