Embark on the BSc Environmental Geoscience at the University of Exeter, a programme designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to address critical global environmental challenges. You will delve into the complex interactions between the Earth's geology, chemistry, and physics, understanding how human activities impact these systems. This degree is ideal for students passionate about environmental science, geology, and finding sustainable solutions to issues like climate change and resource management. You will gain a robust foundation in geosciences, preparing you for a vital role in safeguarding our planet.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over three years, immersing you in a hands-on learning experience. Your first year provides a broad introduction to geology, including nine one-day field classes and a one-week residential trip, alongside modules in Earth and Environmental Chemistry and Quantitative Methods. Subsequent years deepen your expertise through advanced topics like Contaminated Land Management and Sedimentology, culminating in a significant Independent Research Project and an overseas field course in locations such as Spain or Tenerife. You will graduate with practical skills in geological mapping, GIS, and environmental surveying, ready for careers in environmental consultancy, geological surveys, and climate research.
