Earth Sciences
No previous subject knowledge is necessary.
Earth Sciences introduces how our planet works – the processes and properties of the Earth. It covers how the Earth formed, the forces behind plate tectonics, biological evolution, and how the physics and chemistry of rocks reveal the story of Earth's interior.
Earth Sciences is also about natural hazards: volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides. Fossils and isotopes record past changes in climate, sea level and ocean currents, offering answers to the urgent problem of climate change. Other concerns include finding water, coal, oil and minerals.
Practical experience is gained in the laboratory classes and on a one-week field course in Scotland.
Earth Sciences leads onto a broad range of attractive geological careers, and offers a wider perspective for other sciences and the world around us.
