• In their first two years, all students study a common geophysics syllabus covering the fundamentals of mathematics, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, Earth materials, structural geology and tectonics, global geophysics, and Earth processes. Theoretical studies are integrated with a large element of illustrative practical work both in the laboratory and in the field.
  • In the third year, there are more advanced modules in seismology, geodynamics, and global tectonics and there is the opportunity to specialize in, for example, the environmental aspects of the subject such as groundwater resources.
  • The program takes a modern approach to teach, with modules based on laboratory practicals and theory workshops. Fieldwork provides a unique opportunity to develop independent and team skills and problem-solving abilities.
  • The BSc program is identical to the first three years of the MSci program.
  • Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Geophysics.
