Program Description

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.

INTRODUCTION

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.Fieldwork in years two and three at Liverpool is designed specifically for this degree programme integrating geology and geomorphology. You have academic tutors from both disciplines in years one and two.The first three years of the MESci programme are shared with the BSc programme. The final year provides a wider choice of taught modules and a comprehensive fieldwork programme. In addition, you have the opportunity to design and undertake a major individual research project that will provide you with skills in analysis, synthesis, problem solving, and reporting.The unique range of skills that MESci Geology with Physical Geography students develop make them attractive to employers in the geotechnical and resource exploration industries, as well as the environmental monitoring, surveying and planning sectors.Your training will focus on practical and quantitative aspects of geological and geographical science through study of the interaction of surface and near surface processes on the Earth.Research-based dissertations on topics of your choice are undertaken in years three and four on projects that are geological and/ or geomorphological. Year four includes the opportunity for an additional field courses to Tenerife (volcanic and surface processes).A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work.
