Course programme
The first three years of this four-year degree programme follow a similar structure to the BSc Geology with Geography, before allowing you to study advance Master’s modules in your fourth and final year.
Year 1The first year enables you to build a strong foundation of knowledge through compulsory modules in Understanding the Dynamic Planet, physical and chemical processes in the Earth system, and Research and Field Skills. They will introduce you to a range of subjects you are unlikely to have come across until now, ensuring that you will be able to choose optional modules effectively in the following years.
Year 2In this year you take modules on earth science skills, global tectonics and sedimentology, but alongside these you have freedom to tailor your course selecting optional subjects from a wide range of specialist modules, examples including geomorphology, geophysics and hydrogeology.
Year 3The focus of your third year of study is a substantial independent research project, allowing you to investigate a specialist area of your own interest in depth. You will also have the opportunity to select subjects to study from a range of optional modules- including Earthquake and Volcanic Hazards, Paleoclimatology and Low Carbon Energy. Another free study module is also available.
Year 4During your final year you will undertake a substantial research training project in a topic that matches your interests. You will also study advanced level subjects chosen from a wide range of optional modules, such as Research Topics in Earth Sciences and Stable Isotope Geochemistry.
