Geophysics is about understanding the complex interactions between Earth's systems. We explore everything from liquid metal in the Earth's core to moving continents on the Earth surface. We study the composition of the deep Earth and the rapidly changing composition of the Earth's atmosphere.Geophysics is also about understanding the physics of environmental change. We can look for ways to mitigate the harmful impact of human activity and repair damages of the past. For example, we are seeking ways to provide renewable sources of energy. Plus, finding the materials and technologies that enable them.Our hands-on approach to learning helps build your confidence and practical experience. It also gives you valuable field skills prized by employers.Your training leads to the opportunity to conduct your own independent research project. An experienced academic will supervise and support you through your work.Field experiences help deepen your sense of community within your cohort. You will engage in a dynamic learning experience through peer learning where knowledge, ideas, and discoveries thrive.Working on multidisciplinary problems prepares you for the real world, where collaborative solutions are crucial to solving local and global challenges.
