  • It was one of the best experience of my life. Three years of my life at UEA. It is more or less like a home and here's why fly back over and over. It was a great place and good people thanks a lot for such experience.

This course explores solid earth geophysics in the context of the entire earth system. You’ll study the Earth’s many processes, from the seas and skies to the deep interior, and learn about the way they control our environment.
This is a highly desirable degree due to the varied skills you’ll develop as well as the many industrial, governmental and academic applications the subject has. UEA is also one of the best places to study it – we’re ranked first in the UK for research impact (REF 2014) and have a global reputation for excellence in Environmental Sciences.
Your first year will provide you with the scientific tools you need, including Maths and Mechanics, while your second and final years will enable you to focus on diverse areas of study; from Oceanography and Meteorology to Geodynamics and Volcanology.

Course programme

This three-year degree programme begins with a year of compulsory core modules to establish your knowledge on essential topics. You will have the chance to select from optional modules in the second and final year in order to allow you to direct your own studies. In the final year you will also have the opportunity to undertake an independent research project on a subject of your choice.

Year 1

A series of compulsory modules introduce you to the general scientific principles governing geophysics. Multi-disciplinary modules from the wider Faculty of Science prepare you with the essential analytical skills you will need during further years – including Maths for Scientists, Probability, Mechanics and Modelling.

Year 2

As the course progresses you will study applied geophysics and continue to develop your mathematical knowledge. You are also given greater freedom to tailor your course around your own interests, choosing from a wide variety of modules from Global Tectonics to Sedimentology.

Year 3

Your third year of study is centred on an individual research project, allowing you to investigate a specialist area in professional depth. You will also study a range of advanced modules from geophysical science as well as covering the wider social impacts of the subject, such as Geophysical Hazards, Meteorology and Modelling Environmental Processes.
