About this course
Master in Science in Geology and Physical Geography with an International Year MSci, a geography and earth and environmental sciences degree covering natural processes and environmental challenges. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, Project Management. The curriculum combines intensive fieldwork with an international year spent studying at partner institutions abroad during the third year. The first year establishes fundamentals through modules such as Applied GIS and Data Science, Building the Earth: from Minerals to Mountains, Connected Earth: Environmental Systems and Change, and Earth History and Life. The second year progresses to advanced topics via Earth Resources, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability, Sedimentology, Geological Natural Hazards, and Structural Geology and Geophysics. The third year involves studying abroad through modules like Year Abroad Module 1, Year Abroad Module 2, and Year Abroad Module 3. The final stage culminates in the Earth Sciences Research Project.
