The Earth surface system is dynamic and diverse, with changes driven by the interplay of physical, chemical, geological and biological processes in a wide range of environments. Drawing on the complementary expertise of staff in geology and physical geography, this integrated degree programme provides a clear view of the controlling processes that link landscape evolution with environmental change and natural events that impact human activity. You’ll be taught by research active staff, at the forefront of their chosen fields, learning about cutting-edge science before it appears in textbooks. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake project work within the Department’s research groups.Your training will include the comprehensive study of surface and near-surface processes, relevant to many industrial, engineering and environmental employment sectors. Years one and two cover a wide range of geological and physical geography topics, allowing for greater choice in the final year.Fieldwork in years two and three at Liverpool is designed specifically for this degree programme integrating geology and geomorphology were you will have academic tutors from both disciplines.A research-based dissertation is undertaken in year three on a geological and/or geomorphological topic.A two-week field class to South Eastern Spain in year three has been designed exclusively for Geology with Physical Geography students, integrating all aspects of the degree.A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.
