| This course is designed for students with a specific interest in mathematics and physics, and the application of physical laws to the study of the Earth. Greater emphasis is therefore placed on mathematics and physics subjects and modelling techniques. The integrated, modular nature of our courses enables you to achieve a solid understanding of geosciences whilst also tailoring the degree to suit your individual interests. You can choose from specialist areas such as: geochemistry (specifically earth, low temperature and environmental geochemistry, and biogeochemistry), surface processes, marine geophysics, volcanism, tectonics and geophysical techniques. As a Geophysics student, you can expect a balance between theory and practice. You will gain experience with technical equipment while conducting fieldwork in order to gather and interpret complex data and appreciate the uncertainty of some geological models. Our four-year MSci degrees incorporate a significant research project, and require fewer years of work experience to apply for Chartership of the Geological Society. |
