About the course

If you are eager to understand Earth's systems and address global challenges, geophysics offers a compelling path. This field applies physics to explore interactions from the planet's core to its atmosphere, including causes of natural disasters like earthquakes, remote sensing via satellites and drones, environmental changes from human activity, and climate impacts through atmospheric and oceanic dynamics. Its interdisciplinary approach is key to fostering sustainability.In our degree, you'll distinguish geophysics from geology—focusing on Earth's mechanical and thermal structures, forces like gravity and seismology, mineral properties, and climate effects—while building practical skills through hands-on, research-led teaching. Our program, delivered by world-renowned experts ranked 22nd globally (QS 2024), prepares you for impactful careers in Earth sciences.
