Geological Oceanography, MSci (Hons)

This four-year MSci degree, akin to its BSc counterpart, emphasizes the study of marine sediments within an Earth system science framework. Students explore sedimentary processes, including the origin, transport, and deposition of particles in marine environments, as well as sediments and rocks from the past 2 million years and beyond. Unlike the BSc, this program prioritizes skills relevant to the offshore survey and hydrocarbon industries, preparing graduates to address challenges such as site investigations for renewable energy, oil and gas exploration, climate change, and coastal erosion.With high demand for qualified professionals in these fields, graduates gain a comprehensive understanding of the Earth system alongside practical expertise in sedimentology, geophysics, and geotechnics. Bangor University, a leading UK center for marine sciences, offers unique subject combinations and strong industry links. Options for a Placement Year or International Experience Year are available, and a Foundation Year program suits those needing qualifications.
