Course summary

UCL Earth Sciences is engaged in world-class research into the processes at work on and within the Earth and other planets. The department has strong links with resources and hazard risk industries, with most graduates finding employment within academia or geoscience-related industries. Our expertise spans the dynamics of the Earth and other planets, the materials they are composed of and their properties, present and past processes occurring at and below their surfaces, the evolution of life and the environment, and the applied geosciences of natural hazards, pollution and resources. Students pursuing a research degree in Earth Sciences will work in one or a combination of these areas. This programme is best suited to those seeking to continue their learning and professional development through undertaking independent research, including those aiming for an academic career or research project management in industry. The ability to think critically and to problem solve are especially useful attributes.
