Course summary


Overview

Our integrated Master’s Geophysics degree with a year abroad is designed for curious minds eager to explore the dynamic forces shaping our planet. Geophysics merges the power of physics, mathematics, and earth sciences, offering you a unique opportunity to make a real impact on our changing world. This programme explores questions such as: What happens inside a volcano? How can we forecast earthquakes and mitigate the impact? Why do we experience extreme weather? How can we make the transition to sustainable and secure energy? With a geophysics integrated Master’s degree at UEA, you’ll explore geophysics at an advanced level in the context of the entire Earth system. You’ll study the Earth’s many processes, from the seas and skies to the deep interior, and learn about the way they shape our environment. You’ll have the choice of a significant range of diverse modules, with a particularly strong emphasis on geophysical hazards and geo-resources for a sustainable future. Plus, you’ll spend a year living and studying at one of our partner universities in Australasia, North America or Europe. Geophysics offers practical solutions to some of the most significant challenges facing our planet, such as environmental sustainability, resource exploration, and natural hazard assessment. At UEA, you’ll develop key geophysical skills through exciting fieldwork and interdisciplinary study. The degree will unlock a wide range of career paths, from working in environmental consulting and energy exploration to contributing to future-shaping research in academia. Geophysics graduates from UEA are highly sought after in industries. UEA is one of the best places to study it – we're ranked in the top 20 for Geophysics by "QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023".
