Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Geophysics (Geology) with Study abroad
Program Overview
Discover how planet Earth works and how we use physics to image its static and dynamic subsurface, from inner core to crust.
This degree provides high-level training in geophysics with supporting geology, and includes fundamental university training in physics and mathematics. You don't need to have studied geology before, and this degree therefore opens up a range of careers in geoscience. The programme provides particularly strong opportunities for careers in interpretation and processing of geophysical data (environmental, engineering, and exploration geophysics), and research areas related to geological applications.
Transfer to a Geology degree is possible up to the end of Year One.
This degree is accredited by the Geological Society of London, satisfying the requirements of Fellowship and Chartered Geologist status.
The programme covers core topics in geology, geophysics and physics, plus a choice of advanced modules in geophysics. Major features include training in practical/applied geophysics, exploration geophysics (particularly seismology), planetary-scale geophysics and geophysical inverse theory.
Fieldwork currently involves field areas in Wales, Spain and Tenerife. You will work within one of our research groups to undertake a significant geophysical research project in your final year. This provides excellent training in research methodology for an academic or industrial research career.
As part of your degree programme you may have the opportunity to study abroad. Studying abroad has huge personal and academic benefits, as well as giving you a head start in the graduate job market. Current opportunities for Ecology and Marine Biology, and Environmental Science students include a number of our worldwide exchange partnerships including Australia, Sweden and Canada. All Ecology and Marine Biology students undertake an independent study abroad visit. Earth Science students on the F601 and FF68 programmes can apply to spend a semester at partner universities in Australia and New Zealand. Most of our Earth Sciences field courses are based abroad and many students choose to carry out their independent project work abroad. Ocean Sciences students can currently apply to study abroad with partner universities in Canada, North America and Australia.
