Environmental Earth sciences will equip you to understand the changing environment of our dynamic planet. Combining aspects of climate science, oceanography, geology, biology and geography, this degree considers how the oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere interact to drive environmental change from early Earth history to the modern era. The course also addresses the main challenges facing society today, including climate change, environmental degradation and carbon emission reductions.
The degree provides hands-on training in field, laboratory and computational techniques, central to the environmental sciences.
Students interested in this course may also be interested in the Geology BSc or the Earth Sciences MGeol Integrated Masters course, which allows you to graduate with a Masters in Earth Sciences.
Course details
The BSc (Hons) in Environmental Earth Sciences is a four-year course, or three years for direct entry students, run by the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, which provides students with a combination of academic skills and vocational training. During your degree, you will be able to take advantage of hands-on field, laboratory and computational research projects that investigate topics as varied as how ocean acidification affects the health of coral reefs, changes to monsoon systems due to global warming, and the impact of volcanoes on climate and society.
Your degree will provide key skills training designed to prepare you for working life in a range of environments, from carbon capture research to environmental protection, and water resources to modelling future climate change. Teaching is strongly integrated with our leading research programmes, allowing our degrees to address the most exciting challenges in the Earth and environmental sciences.
