MSci (Hons) Environmental Geoscience

On our Environmental Geoscience course, you will explore different processes that happen on our planet like acid rain and global warming and find solutions to geological problems in the UK and around the world. Our Masters degrees involve a fourth year of study where you work on a research project with a leading scientist from the School and their research staff. You will develop advanced skills in mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving, which will be invaluable to employers in academia, government and industry. South Wales has a rich geological history and is ideal for teaching how geology impacts on landscapes and industry. We take regular field trips to natural beauty spots and old industrial and mining sites. There will be opportunities to do overseas trips, in the past weve been to Tenerife and Cyprus. Weve worked with industry to design our degree so you graduate with the specialist skills needed to be a professional environmental geoscientist.
