Bachelor of Science in Earth Science and Physical Geography

Program Overview

The world needs geographers and Earth scientists now more than ever before.

For example, we need them to:

Help us address the climate crisis
Adapt to environmental changes
Live more safely and sustainably on our dynamic Earth

Our degree will help you play a valuable role in addressing the global challenges facing our planet and society.

What will I learn?

The BSc Earth Science and Physical Geography allows you to combine your understanding of both physical geography and Earth processes to address global challenges.

It carefully balances data science, programming, and computing skills with traditional field and laboratory skills, along with a knowledge of geography and Earth science.

You will learn about:

The structure and composition of the Earth
The deep-Earth processes that shape the Earth's surface and impact the landscape
The associated hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides

We will build on this knowledge to explore how oceans, rivers, glaciers, and human impact define the modern and ancient landscape. We will also examine how these processes, in turn, impact society.

This integrated understanding underpins leading research on global change and many of the world's most critical physical environmental challenges.

We embrace a hands-on approach to learning, so you can develop in-demand practical skills. Many of your activities simulate those that professionals perform in the real world. We will also teach you sought-after computational analysis and quantitative skills.
