MSci Geophysics with a Year Abroad

Our integrated MSci Geophysics degree with a year abroad is designed for curious minds eager to explore the dynamic forces shaping our planet. Geophysics merges the power of physics, mathematics, and earth sciences, offering you a unique opportunity to make a real impact on our changing world. Geophysics at UEA combines our strengths in solid earth geophysics, marine science, and atmospheric science.

This programme explores questions such as: What happens inside a volcano? How can we forecast earthquakes and mitigate the impact? Why do we experience extreme weather?

How can we make the transition to sustainable and secure energy? With geophysics integrated Master’s degree at UEA, you’ll explore geophysics at an advanced level in the context of the entire Earth system. You’ll study the Earth’s many processes, from the seas and skies to the deep interior, and learn about the way they shape our environment.

You’ll have the choice of a wide range of diverse modules, spanning from geophysical hazards to ocean system and geo-resources for a sustainable future. Plus, you'll spend a year living and studying at one of our partner universities in Australasia, North America or Europe. Geophysics offers practical solutions to some of the most significant challenges facing our planet, such as environmental sustainability, resource exploration, and natural hazard assessment.

At UEA, you’ll develop key geophysical skills through exciting fieldwork and interdisciplinary study. The degree wil
