Course summary

Physical geography and geology examines how the Earth鈥檚 surface is shaped by natural and human processes. This knowledge is key to addressing many of the complex sustainability challenges facing the planet. Core modules explore seismic, landscape and volcanic geohazards, clean energy transitions, and long term environmental change. Students also study geographical modules which provide a deep understanding of climate, environments, and the biosphere.- Our modules address critical sustainability challenges: reducing risk from natural hazards, harnessing cleaner energy sources and how to combat climate and environmental change. - Gain specialist academic, international fieldwork and laboratory skills providing a springboard to an exciting and diverse range of careers. - Our approachable staff share their cutting-edge research and expertise through varied teaching practices in lectures, tutorials, practical classes and field courses. - Learn to apply the latest techniques in the field and laboratory. Our substantial fieldwork programme uses the unrivalled local range of geological and geographical locations. Residential overseas fieldwork visits regions of active tectonics such as Death Valley, Italy and Sicily.- All students have the opportunity to spend your second year studying abroad in Europe, Canada, Australia, USA or elsewhere through our bilateral and ISEP exchange programmes.- Students can undertake a placement year, between the second and final year, working full time for a geological employer.- Study modules addressing the connection between physical geography and geology, such as 鈥榣ong-term landscape development鈥�.- Improve your skills in our open access laboratory, LABplus.- Develop your confidence with your personal tutor, providing you with regular guidance throughout your degree. - Get support from students in the year ahead via our PALS mentoring scheme.- Live and study close to the sea, Dartmoor and two geological UNESCO World Heritage sites.- Receive essential field safety equipment free as part of your welcome package.- Work towards becoming a Chartered Geologist, our accreditation by the Geological Society, the world鈥檚 oldest and most prestigious national learned society for geology, helps you to gain the required experience.- We are proud of our 2022 NSS results for our Earth science degrees: 90% of students thought that staff were good at explaining things and 86% of students felt that staff made the subject interesting.- A diverse and respectful place in which to work and study is fundamental to everything we do.
