The BSc in Earth Science and Physical Geography enables you to integrate knowledge of physical geography with Earth processes to tackle worldwide issues.
This program thoughtfully blends data science, programming, and computing expertise with conventional fieldwork and lab techniques, alongside geographical and Earth science understanding.
You'll explore:
Earth's structure and makeup
subsurface processes that mold the planet's surface and influence landscapes
related natural hazards like seismic activity, volcanic eruptions, and slope failures
Building on this foundation, we'll investigate how oceans, waterways, ice formations, and human activities shape both contemporary and historical terrains. We'll also study how these phenomena affect human communities.
This comprehensive approach supports cutting-edge research on planetary transformation and pressing environmental concerns.
Our teaching emphasizes practical experience, helping you acquire valuable hands-on competencies. Numerous exercises mirror real-world professional tasks. You'll also gain highly desirable skills in computational analysis and quantitative methods.
