Geology with Geography, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

This modern BSc in Geology with Geography, including a placement year, delves into core earth sciences to address contemporary challenges. It examines phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, flash floods, and landslides, integrating geology with physical geography, human society, and environmental processes. Students engage in fieldwork and laboratory studies on topics like plate tectonics, natural resources, geochemistry, soil health, and water quality, while exploring interdisciplinary links to enhance understanding of Earth's systems and societal implications. The programme builds foundational research skills in the first year, allows specialisation in areas like sediments and ancient climates, and includes a third-year industry placement to boost employability and practical expertise.Course details may change; verify information on the provider’s website: www.uea.ac.uk.
