BSc (Hons) Ocean and Geophysics
Course Overview
This degree explores the critical role of the oceans within the Earth's climate system, from the past to future projections. You will develop a deep understanding of oceanographic processes, with a special focus on coastal seas and ice-ocean interactions, through a combination of theoretical study and hands-on practical work. The course is specifically designed to equip you with highly relevant skills for tackling global challenges like climate change, sea-level rise, and marine resource management.
Key Program Highlights
- Specialized focus on the climate system and crucial ice-ocean interactions
- Gain industry-relevant skills through computer modelling and a geophysical field trip
- Hands-on experience aboard a research ship with practical fieldwork and lab experiments
- Optional pathways to enhance your degree with a Placement Year or International Experience Year
- Directly addresses pressing global issues like sea-level rise and marine renewable energy
