Passionate about creating a sustainable future? This degree will prepare you for a career in a wide range of earth and environmental science industries.

From day one, you’ll be trained to become a sustainably minded geoscientist. You’ll study important topics like climate change, clean water, and green energy at a university that is a champion of sustainability with a global reputation for the quality of our research.

We take a hands-on approach to learning through field trips and lab work, and you’ll also broaden your horizons with a year of study at one of our partner universities across Europe, Asia, North America, or Australia, gaining new skills, building international contacts, and immersing yourself in a different culture and environment.
