Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Ocean and Geophysics (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

You will study a wide range of factors – natural and caused by human beings – ranging from the lunar cycle, solar system, tidal waves and water levels to the interaction between ice and oceans and the habitability of other planets.

We place a particular emphasis on developing knowledge and skills, including field, lab and computer-based techniques, of direct relevance to industry, particularly in relation to issues such as future climate change, sea level rise, marine pollution and exploitation of marine renewable energy.

Situated next to the Menai Strait and Irish Sea, our location provides a rich context to studies. You’ll observe the ocean and seabed on our £3.5 million ocean-going research ship, using state-of-the-art technology and sub-sea instruments in its onboard laboratories. Local fieldwork on the coasts and in the estuaries of North Wales will link climate change with coastal erosion, flood risk and water quality. You will also conduct field trips to Eryri National Park (also known as Snowdonia) and the UNESCO designated GeoMôn Global Geopark – one of the world’s top 100 geosites.

Bangor University is at the forefront of world-leading research in oceanography and geophysics, from climate change and the Atlantification of the Arctic to the expanding offshore renewable energy industry. Actively supporting the global push for a net zero carbon future, we are improving understanding of marine renewable energy, climate and sea-level change, and coastal erosion.

With a dedicated School of Ocean Sciences, the University is one of the largest and oldest university centres in Britain for teaching and research in marine sciences with some of the best specialist facilities and equipment. On this BSc (Hons) Ocean and Geophysics, you’ll be taught by staff whose specialisms include marine geology, coastal processes, tidal evolution, polar oceanography, physical oceanography, sedimentology, and climate science.

The University is home to the Marine Centre Wales and Environment Centre for Wales, a partnership with the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH). Elsewhere in Bangor, you’ll find regional offices of Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and D?r Cymru/Welsh Water. Strong links with these employers provide opportunities for work placements, research projects and some contribute to teaching.
