About this course
Understanding how the Earth works, the forces that shape it and how we can use its resources in a sustainable way is crucial to the future of our planet.
From day one, you’ll be trained to become a sustainably-minded geoscientist. Using your passion to drive an environmentally-sensitive world, we'll empower you to join us in helping to build a fairer, sustainable, carbon neutral future.
Not only that – you'll develop skills in observation and analysis in order to understand Earth and environmental processes across a range of timescales, both locally and globally.
Learning by doing is an important part of the course, whether you’re getting your hands dirty in the labs or treading the soil in Spain. And the best bit is, all your core field trip costs are included in your tuition fees.
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.
How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
