Earth and Environmental Science, BSc (Hons), with study abroad

Geoscientists play a vital role in addressing global issues like climate change, sustainable development, resource management, and natural hazards. This degree integrates geoscience training with environmental contexts, equipping students with insights into key challenges and solutions. It examines natural and human-influenced environments, exploring the factors, processes, and historical evolution that shape the current and future state of the planet, while drawing on expertise in areas such as volcanology, geophysics, hydrogeology, and glaciology.The program begins with foundational studies in Earth and environmental sciences during the first year. Specialisation emerges in the second year, offering flexibility in topics like geological hazards or glacial systems, alongside field courses to sites like Mount Etna and the Lake District. The third year involves studying at an overseas partner university to enhance global perspectives, though availability is subject to conditions. Throughout, emphasis is placed on transferable skills, including communication, IT, data handling, and environmental analysis, valued by employers.
