By studying the Earth's internal core, crust, oceans, atmosphere, and the solar system, we can gain a better understanding of how our planet works.
This course explores how maths, physics and computer modelling can all be used to help further our knowledge of Earth processes.
You'll combine traditional observational and field skills with numerical and analytical fundamental science to understand the Earth more quantitatively.
You'll benefit from our internationally leading research programme, as well as lectures and case studies from business and academic leaders.
As the course progresses, you'll specialise in areas such as marine geophysics and geophysical techniques. You'll also develop your computing expertise towards using specialist electronic mapping packages.
Our courses place a strong emphasis on fieldwork, where you'll learn essential skills and apply your knowledge in real-world settings.
This includes the opportunity to build your familiarity with using technical equipment on a fieldwork trip to Cyprus.
Your final year culminates in the completion of a research project or dissertation, enabling you to explore an aspect of geophysics in greater detail.
Throughout your studies, you'll also develop transferable professional skills such as group working, problem-solving and data analysis.

Imperial College London offers in the region of 250 postgraduate taught degrees and research qualifications within science, engineering, technology, medicine and business (STEMB).

As a specialist institution, teaching is spread across their four faculties:


Imperial has a number of Global Challenge Institutes and research centers which offer qualifications at postgraduate level. .


Admissions

If you intend to apply for a master’s degree the college minimum requirement is a UK Lower Second Class Honours degree. The majority of courses have higher requirements, usually a minimum of a UK Upper Second Class Honours. They also accept a wide range of international qualifications.

For admission to a PhD, MPhil, MD (Res) or EngD research program the College would normally expect you to hold or achieve a master's degree, in addition to a bachelor's degree at UK Upper Second Class Honours level.

For entry requirements relating to a specific master’s degree, see their online course pages. All entry requirements reflect the minimum requirement needed to be considered for admission. They often ask for higher than their minimum requirements, due to the demanding and competitive nature of their programs.

Meeting academic requirements does not guarantee entry, it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision: other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a College-approved English test to the standard set out in the requirements for your course of interest), relevant work experience and references are also important.


Language support

While all of their degree courses are taught in English, the College offers a number of resources to students whose first language is not English through their Centre for Academic English, including:


Tuition fees

Fees vary by course and year of entry. For more information, see their Fees and Funding website.
