Geology with Geography, BSc (Hons)

This modern BSc Geology with Geography degree explores core earth sciences, equipping students with essential skills to address contemporary challenges such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and flash floods. The programme integrates geology and physical geography, examining topics like plate tectonics, natural resources, geochemistry, soil health, and water quality through field and laboratory work. It uniquely connects these areas with human society, environmental processes, and related disciplines, offering opportunities not typically found in traditional geology programmes.In the first year, students build a foundation in research skills and global environmental issues, including climate change and natural hazards. Later years allow specialisation in modules such as earth science skills, soil processes, fossil fuels, and ancient climates. Supported by world-class teaching and research expertise, graduates gain versatile skills for careers in geosciences, with a flexible curriculum that fosters an integrated learning experience.

Our degree covers a wide range of topics from fossil fuels to volcanoes. In Year 1, you will be introduced to a range of compulsory topics which will provide the foundation to your studies. These modules include Understanding the Dynamic Planet, Global Environmental Challenges and Research and Field Skills. As your studies progress, you will study environmental relationships with other science disciplines - an opportunity which is not usually available in traditional Earth science departments. In Years 2 and 3, you will study a combination of compulsory and optional modules including Earth Science Skills, Soil Process and Environmental Issues, Earth and Life and Fossil Fuels.
