MSci Geology with Geography with a Year Abroad

Explore the classical areas of earth sciences in this modern degree that will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges Our MSci Geology with Geography with a Year Abroad degree explores questions such as: What happens during an earthquake? What’s going on inside an erupting volcano? How does a meteorite impact affect the Earth?

Why do flash floods happen and can we stop them? Why do some landslides carry on for years, but others develop very quickly? You’ll follow an advanced four-year Master’s programme that takes a very modern approach to Earth science – one that links geology with physical geography, human society and a multitude of surface and environmental processes.

You’ll get out in the field or into the lab to use the principles of geology and physical geography to explore topics including plate tectonics, natural resources, geochemistry, earthquakes, volcanoes, soil health and water quality. You’ll also explore the important relationships between these topics and other disciplines in geography and across the environmental sciences – an opportunity not usually available in traditional geology departments.
