BSc (Hons) Environmental Geoscience in London United Kingdom | University College London

Environmental Geoscience focuses on the relationship between Earth sciences and human activities. We investigate Earth's formation, its internal mechanisms, the growth of its biosphere and atmosphere, and surface changes, highlighting both natural and human-driven transformations. This approach enables the study of environmental challenges, including natural resource management, societal utilization, waste disposal, geological hazards, sustainability, and risk evaluation.
The program provides a comprehensive Earth science education, covering planetary evolution, internal dynamics, atmospheric and biological development, and surface transformations, with special attention to human-influenced environmental changes. Students receive scientific training to analyze Earth-related environmental concerns, such as resource utilization, waste management, and hazard mitigation. Extensive fieldwork opportunities foster independent thinking, teamwork, and analytical skills.

No prior Earth science background is required, as the curriculum establishes fundamental scientific knowledge in the initial years. The final year emphasizes research, aligned with departmental expertise, featuring an independent field mapping project.
