Environmental Geoscience, MSci (Hons)

The Environmental Geoscience programme is tailored for individuals with a keen interest in Earth's processes, enabling them to predict hazards like floods and earthquakes, manage hazardous waste, and support civil engineering projects. Students explore planetary phenomena such as acid rain and global warming, developing advanced skills in mapping, research, analysis, and problem-solving. For Master's students, a fourth year focuses on a research project with leading scientists, enhancing career prospects in academia, government, and industry.Set in South Wales, with its rich geological history, the course includes regular field trips to local sites and overseas destinations like Tenerife. No prior Geology knowledge is required, as it begins with foundational principles. The programme features professional accreditation from the Geological Society, high student satisfaction, flexible degree options, hands-on fieldwork, access to world-class facilities, and collaborations with institutions like the British Geological Survey and National Museum of Wales.
