Environmental Geoscience combines the study of landscape and natural environments in physical geography with aspects of geology to investigate the physical processes that shape our planet and the changes that have affected environments over hundreds of millions of years. Our location offers unparalleled access to varied geological environments: Gower Peninsula, Brecon Beacons and the industrial landscapes of South Wales.
We combine physical geography with aspects of geology, allowing you to investigate processes that have shaped the earth for millions of years. Alongside cutting-edge knowledge and mastery of key concepts, we place strong emphasis on active learning through fieldwork. You can customise your degree, including a wide range of geology and human or physical geography modules to cater to your interests. We will equip you with the professional tools and graduate mindset needed to help solve some of today’s ‘big issues’. Assessments are diverse and integrative, allowing you to confidently master critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, entrepreneurship and team-working skills.
