This degree examines the interactions between the geology, biology, chemistry and physics of Earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere. It gives you a deep understanding of Earth’s environment and how it can be influenced by human activities, together with the experience of studying in English at one of our partner universities overseas. Students on Study Abroad degrees return with an appreciation of different cultures, exciting new ideas and a broader perspective of the world, all of which can lead to enhanced career prospects.
In years one and two you gain a firm grounding in earth sciences, building your knowledge to inform your choice of advanced topics to study in the following years, which have recently included Oceanography, Economic Geology, and Climates and Ecosystems. Your third year is spent abroad, studying units comparable to those offered in Bristol. Recently, students have been to North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Visit the Global Opportunities website and search for ‘Earth Sciences’ to find out where you can study abroad. You will spend half of your final year in Bristol on a major earth science research project. A number of our previous students’ project reports have been published in scientific journals.
