Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Geological Oceanography (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

This degree focuses on the study of marine sediments within an Earth system science context. It is concerned with sedimentary processes (the origin, transport and deposition of particles in the marine environment), and with marine sediments and rocks, in particular those formed in the past 2 million year, but also further back in time. Geological Oceanographers are required to tackle issues such as climate and sea-level change, coastal erosion, marine pollution, waterway siltation and offshore engineering related to cable/pipelines routes, renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration. We are one of the largest university centres teaching marine sciences in the UK and among the biggest in Europe.

The geologists on our staff have expertise in the relevant subject areas and we have strong links with the offshore and hydrocarbon industry.

We are unique in the UK in offering the sedimentology / geophysics / geotechnics combination of subject areas – and we are very well recognised in the industry for providing high quality employees to the offshore sector.

Placement
This course is available with a Placement Year option where you will study for 1 additional year. The Placement Year is undertaken at the end of the second year and students are away for the whole of the academic year.

The Placement Year provides you with a fantastic opportunity to broaden your horizons and develop valuable skills and contacts through working with a self-sourced organisation relevant to your degree subject. The minimum period in placement (at one or more locations) is seven calendar months; more usually you would spend 10-12 months with a placement provider. You would normally start sometime in the period June to September of your second year and finish between June and September the following year. Placements can be UK-based or overseas and you will work with staff to plan and finalise the placement arrangements.
