Environmental Geology (Graduate Certificate)

Environmental geology is a growing area of active research as it provides insights into how the environment has evolved over geological time and how this relates to changes happening today. If you have an undergraduate degree in earth sciences, geology or a related field but want to increase your knowledge of environmental geology, then our Graduate Certificate in Environmental Geology will bring you up to date with developments in the field. The specialist knowledge you acquire could help you change career, build a career within the environmental or education sector or enable you to progress onto graduate research at PhD level.

You will be taught by academics who are actively engaged in cutting-edge environmental research that is expanding the boundaries of knowledge. We cover coastal erosion, mineralogy, geoarchaeology, volcanology, earthquake forecasting, palaeoclimatology and palaeontology, as well as offering advanced modules in many other subjects. You can choose from a range of modules to create a programme that matches, expands and deepens your particular interests.

Our teaching philosophy is based around flexibility, allowing you to fit your studies around your lifestyle. We embrace new technology and methods to make learning accessible to all and have been running remote as well as face-to-face lectures for more than 20 years. This means you can attend classes with our internationally distinguished researchers in our world-class laboratories in London or you can watch live streams/recorded lectures at home using our cutting-edge online teaching platform. You are free to mix both these methods to find the best balance for you. This includes the option to study 100% online from anywhere in the world and receive a University of London qualification.
