An environmental geoscientist uses their understanding of the planet and its processes to predict hazards like floods and earthquakes, clean up dangerous waste, and help civil engineers plan the construction of new roads, tunnels or buildings. On this three-year course, you will develop advanced skills in mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving.
South Wales has a rich geological history and is ideal for teaching how geology impacts on landscapes and industry. We make the most of our location and take regular day trips to areas of natural beauty and old industrial and mining sites, as well as overseas trips to places like Tenerife and Cyprus.
We’ve worked with industry to design our degree so you graduate with the specialist skills needed to be a professional environmental geoscientist.
We are a friendly and informal school and you will be supported and taught by world-leading experts involved in cutting-edge international research.
Our teaching approach is a mix of theory and practical and includes: lectures, laboratory work, fieldwork, tutorials, workshops and seminars. You will also be encouraged to learn independently throughout the course. We encourage you to think logically and apply this to environmental problems. The skills you will gain are in demand in sectors like civil and environmental engineering, insurance, water supply and consulting.
