This four year degree combines components of Geology and Physical Geography, with a focus on learning how to conduct your own research project.

An environmental geoscientist uses their understanding of the planet and its processes to predict hazards like floods and earthquakes, clean up dangerous waste, and help civil engineers plan the construction of new roads, tunnels or buildings. 

On our Environmental Geoscience course, you will explore different processes that happen on our planet like acid rain and global warming and find solutions to geological problems in the UK and around the world. Our Master's degree involves a fourth year of study where you work on a research project with a leading scientist from the School and their research staff. You will develop advanced skills in mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving, which will be invaluable to employers in academia, government and industry. 

South Wales has a rich geological history and is ideal for teaching how geology impacts on landscapes and industry. We make the most of our location and take regular field trips to natural beauty spots and old industrial and mining sites, as well as overseas trips to locations such as Tenerife and Cyprus.

We’ve worked with industry to design our degree so you graduate with the specialist skills needed to be a professional environmental geoscientist.
