This degree focuses on the study of marine sediments within an Earth system science context. It is concerned with sedimentary processes (the origin, transport and deposition of sand mud, and other particles in the marine environment), and with marine sediments and rocks, in particular those formed in the past 2 million year, but also further back in time. Geological Oceanographers are required to tackle issues such as climate and sea level change, coastal erosion, marine pollution, waterway siltation and offshore engineering related to cable/pipelines routes, renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration.

About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to: Show understanding of units of measure and dimensional analysis
Have a sound grasp of basic numerical manipulation techniques
Be able to use mathematical and graphical techniques to describe scientific phenomena
Apply appropriate data analysis and statistical techniques to scientific data using Excel, Matlab and SPSS computer packages and correctly interpret the outcomes
Have an awareness of how to plan and conduct a simple experiment with appropriate regard to design and analysis issues
Apply appropriate spatial analysis techniques to data and correctly interpret the outputs
Develop an understanding of the scientific method to develop ideas, make observations, and set and test hypotheses
Be able to communicate the results of environmental scientific investigations to an appropriate audience
Apply appropriate temporal analysis techniques to data and correctly interpret the outputs
The course is ideal preparation for careers in research, oil and gas exploration and the offshore industry, environmental impact assessment, the water supply industry, coastal zone management, government advisory bodies and the scientific media.
320 280 points at A2/AS level (or equivalent) usually including two science subjects (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.
