地球科学是对地球系统的研究，尤其是地质与地表过程和环境以及相关的自然和人为变化的相互作用。地球科学专注于气候变化，水资源，景观演变，环境和自然灾害的研究，以及将地球系统科学和地质学应用于现实社会社会环境问题的研究。您将参加一个激动人心的实地考察计划，其中包括海外地点和英国的实地站点，并有许多对本地站点的一日游。最初，您将学习地球科学的主要主题，并在第一年学习两门课程。第一门课程涵盖基本的地质原理，包括地球结构，板块构造，地震，火山，岩石如何变形以及海洋和大洲的演化。第二门课程涵盖生命的演变，地表过程和环境
Environmental Geoscience is the study of the interaction between natural and anthropogenic processes and environments. It focuses on working towards a sustainable future by understanding how humans affect, and are affected by, a range of environmental issues including climate change, water resources, pollution and landscape change.The flexibility of our programmes will enable you to choose your specialist subject after an integrated first and second year which will prepare you for both degrees in Environmental Geoscience and Geology.Fieldwork is a fundamental part of studying Environmental Geoscience at the University of Glasgow. All students undertake field classes from the first year, with field trips to Holyrood Park (Edinburgh), Fife and Arran in years one and two. In the third and fourth year, there are various residential and day field classes. We deliver a series of specialised courses that will uniquely prepare you for a range of careers including environmental monitoring and management, geotechnical engineering and environmental hazards. This programme is accredited by the Institute of Environmental Sciences (IES). The School works with the Hunterian Museum, which provides students with world-class samples to work withThere are four fully dedicated laboratories equipped with microscopes, maps, hand-specimens, thin-sections and specialised software, available 24 hours a day. Travelling and overseas work are major features of a geoscience career and we encourage our students to take advantage of extensive exchange programmes to study abroad.Our recent graduates are employed by a range of organisations in the environmental sector: Atkins, BAM Nuttall Ltd, BAM Ritchies, Equinor Hywind, Mason Evans, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Water.
