Environmental Geoscience, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Interdisciplinary scientists are essential for tackling environmental challenges like climate change and degradation. This degree integrates knowledge of earth materials and geological planetary change with environmental science, enabling exploration of key issues such as low-carbon economies, zero-waste construction, carbon capture and storage, and sustainable development. Students gain versatile skills for careers in Earth and environmental sectors through cutting-edge teaching by approachable staff, including lectures, tutorials, practicals, and extensive fieldwork leveraging local geological sites and overseas trips to tectonically active regions like Death Valley, Italy, and Sicily.Opportunities include a second-year study abroad in Europe, Canada, Australia, the USA, or elsewhere; an optional placement year with geological employers; access to the open LABplus laboratory; personal tutoring; PALS peer mentoring; proximity to the sea, Dartmoor, and two UNESCO geological World Heritage sites; free field safety equipment; and accreditation by the Geological Society toward Chartered Geologist status. We foster a diverse, respectful community.
