Course summary


Overview

Explore the classical areas of earth sciences in this modern degree that will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to tackle some of today’s most pressing challenges Our MSci Geology with Geography with a Year Abroad degree explores questions such as: What happens during an earthquake? What’s going on inside an erupting volcano? How does a meteorite impact affect the Earth? Why do flash floods happen and can we stop them?  Why do some landslides carry on for years, but others develop very quickly?  You’ll follow an advanced four-year Master’s programme that takes a very modern approach to Earth science – one that links geology with physical geography, human society and a multitude of surface and environmental processes. You’ll get out in the field or into the lab to use the principles of geology and physical geography to explore topics including plate tectonics, natural resources, geochemistry, earthquakes, volcanoes, soil health and water quality. You’ll also explore the important relationships between these topics and other disciplines in geography and across the environmental sciences – an opportunity not usually available in traditional geology departments.Studying Geology with Geography will help you understand the solid Earth and the societal consequences of its processes – such as volcanoes, earthquakes and floods. You’ll explore the interaction of human society and the Earth using geology, geography, social science and the core sciences, with the opportunity to focus on areas that most interest you. As well as an introduction to geology and the earth system, in your first year you’ll gain an important foundation in research skills, and exposure to a range of environmental problems in relation to the climate, natural hazards, land use, biodiversity and sustainability. As you progress through the course, you’re able to specialise choosing from a wide range of modules covering topics such as plate tectonics, sediments, volcanoes, earthquakes, earth resources and ancient climates. What’s more, you’ll spend your third year studying abroad with one of our university exchange partners in Australasia, North America or Europe, experiencing other cultures and expanding your horizons. In your final year, you'll study advanced, Master’s-level modules and complete an in-depth research project. At UEA, our vast research expertise means we provide world-class teaching, and our international reputation ensures that you’ll have a wealth of career opportunity after you graduate. You’ll be held in high esteem in the wider geosciences' community for the high levels of laboratory, field and transferable skills you’ll acquire during the course. You’ll also benefit from a flexible and adaptable degree programme, where conventional subject boundaries are dissolved to give you an integrated learning experience.  As an example, check out this solar water pump start-up project, founded by UEA graduates.
