Geophysics, BSc (Hons)

Our BSc Geophysics programme equips curious minds to explore the dynamic forces shaping Earth, blending physics, mathematics, and earth sciences for real-world impact. At UEA, it integrates solid earth geophysics, marine science, and atmospheric science, addressing key questions like volcanic processes, earthquake forecasting, extreme weather, and sustainable energy transitions. You'll study the full Earth system—from oceans and atmosphere to deep interior—through diverse modules on geophysical hazards, ocean systems, and geo-resources.This three-year degree features extensive fieldwork with state-of-the-art tools like seismic imaging, ground-penetrating radar, and AI-driven modelling. Develop in-demand skills for careers in environmental consulting, energy exploration, and research; UEA ranks 16th in UK Geophysics (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024). Tailor studies in geohazards, meteorology, oceanography, or big data analytics. Course details subject to change; confirm at www.uea.ac.uk.
