我们旨在培养具有强大，可转让的研究技能的研究人员，这些研究人员在各自领域得到国际认可，并了解当前的环境和学术研究问题。您将主要通过在监督下完成一个项目来发展自己的研究技能。作为环境科学学院的四门学科之一，我们在地球和海洋科学领域进行基础和应用研究。我们对蓬勃发展的研究生研究（PGR）给予很高的评价，并拥有超过50名活跃的PGR学生。
As one of the four subject disciplines within the School of Environmental Sciences we undertake fundamental and applied research within Earth and Ocean Sciences. We place a high value on our thriving Postgraduate Research (PGR) and have over 50 active PGR students. We aim to produce researchers with strong, transferable research skills, who are internationally recognised in their own fields and understand current environmental and academic research problems. You will develop your research skills primarily by completing a project under supervision. These skills include: data collection, manipulation of the data, data interpretation and modelling, critical analysis, literature surveys, presentation skills and through international conferences.
