Physical Oceanographers and marine geophysicists are in great demand and are required to tackle issues such as predicting future climate and sea level change, marine pollution dispersion and exploitation of marine renewable energy. The aim of this programme is to inspire and prepare students to be professional physical and geophysical marine scientists – whether that is to be in research or industry. The course achieves this by providing students with a suitable combination of skills and knowledge. Generic skills e.g. self learning, time management, numerical skills as well as subject specific ones including numerical problem solving and making observations in the natural environment. In year 3 the students specialise following either and Ocean Physics route (focusing on process understanding and numerical modelling) or a Geophysics route focusing on characterisation and observation of near surface marine sedimentary environments. The course therefore places a particular emphasis on gaining skills and knowledge of direct relevance to industry.

About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to: Write logical, well structured scientific essays drawing upon appropriate information from the scientific literature.
Use library facilities to undertake literature searches.
Be able to write abstracts of scientific papers.
Foster a scientific mindset and ability to present arguments in a coherent manner.
Be able to give short oral presentations using appropriate visual aides within a given time limit.
Produce scientific figures of a professional standard.
The course is ideal preparation for careers, in both industry and academia, associated with marine renewables, climate change research, offshore survey, coastal zone management and broadcast media, where the ability to collect and analyse and animate large numerical data sets using computers and computer graphics is in high demand.
320 280 points at A2/AS level (or equivalent) including Physics or Maths and one other science subject (Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Environmental Science), plus Grade C in GCSE Maths, Double Award Science and English.
We consider Access and BTEC Extended National Diploma applicants and mature students on an individual basis.
