A four-year Masters degree course that has been designed to provide a comprehensive and rigorous education in all aspects of Earth Sciences with the opportunity to interact with staff at the cutting-edge of scientific research. It provides the opportunity to follow the Geology (F) or Environmental Geosciences (F) or Geophysics with Geology (F) for the first three years and undertake a detailed Research Project in the area of your choosing in the fourth year. The MSci Earth Sciences course incorporates a substantial amount of independent (and group) project work which will involve you in high-level quantitative investigations, in addition to advanced key skills training. Students who have been accepted on the BSc degree courses can choose to transfer to the four-year MSci degree in Earth Sciences (F) at the end of their second year. This will depend on your progress in th.
