The BSc Physical Earth Science with a Year in Industry degree scheme at Swansea combines physical geography with aspects of geology. The BSc Physical Earth Science course will give you the opportunity to investigate the physical processes that shape our planet and the changes that have affected environments over hundreds of millions of years. The course covers a range of themes of exciting including Understanding and Living with Natural Hazards, Glacial Environments and Processes and Reconstructing Quaternary Environmental Change. You will be assessed through a variety of methods, including examinations, coursework, practical work, fieldwork and continuous assessment from tutorials. You will also complete a dissertation in Level Three. Many students choose Geography because of the scope it provides for studying a wide range of current themes and issues, the important insights it offers for understanding our contemporary world, and the opportunity to put this knowledge into practice through fieldwork. However, what many students do not realise before coming to university is that a Geography degree also offers a broad range of employment opportunities, allowing graduates to pursue a flexible and varied career path.
