Earth Sciences

UCL (University College London)

Earth Sciences is the study of our home planet. Our flexible programme combines ideas and principles of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Geophysics. We explore how our planet works at depth and at the surface, the biological processes that build diversity and cause extinction, the ocean and atmospheric processes shaping climate, and issues relating to resources, geohazards and climate change. As well as the highly flexible General stream, students may chose to follow a Palaeobiology stream within this degree programme. This allows students to take a range of modules in other departments which are not normally available to other students. The BSc Earth Sciences programme is intended to provide a complete education and training that will qualify students for a wide range of professional employment or postgraduate education and research within and outside the subject area. We also offer International and MSci programme variants incorporating a year abroad and/or independent-research components, which are intended as an entry route for high-level professional employment or postgraduate education and research.
