What will I learn?

**Study how Earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems interact with human activity, combining fieldwork, lab and geospatial skills to tackle climate change, geohazards and environmental challenges.**This Earth and Climate Science programme explores how our planet works and how human activity is reshaping its future. You’ll study the physical, chemical and biological processes that have shaped the Earth, its oceans, climate and the diversity of life, from deep geological time to today’s environmental challenges.The programme places strong emphasis on hands‑on learning. You’ll gain practical experience through UK and overseas fieldwork, laboratory analysis and geospatial data techniques, developing the core skills used by Earth and environmental scientists. Alongside studying past environmental change, you’ll examine contemporary issues such as climate change, geohazards, and sustainable responses including policy and nature‑based solutions.Through a wide range of assessments, research projects and optional work placement opportunities, you’ll build the scientific understanding, technical expertise and transferable skills needed for careers in environmental science and related fields.
