In this course, you'll combine traditional observational and field skills with numerical and analytical fundamental science to understand the Earth more quantitatively. You'll benefit from our internationally leading research programme, as well as lectures and case studies from business and academic leaders. You'll also have the opportunity to explore specialist areas such as palaeobiology and oceanography in further detail across a series of optional modules.
