环境地球科学是一个学位课程，位于地质学和自然地理学之间，各有组成部分。该计划的重点是地球表面过程和材料，地球化学，污染和地质灾害，演变和地球生态学等主题。它将吸引对地质与自然环境相互作用的方式感兴趣的任何人。这项为期四年的计划包括在工业界就读的一年，因此您可以获得在相关公司或组织工作以及完成学术研究的宝贵经验。南威尔士州拥有悠久的工业历史（污染严重），自然环境优美，研究地点众多。它不仅包括高地地貌和沿海环境，还包括垃圾填埋场，重金属污染，酸性矿山排水，废弃的土地和采矿塌陷，使加的夫成为研究环境地球科学的绝
Environmental Geoscience is a degree programme that sits between the subjects of geology and physical geography, having components of each. The programme focusses on the themes of Earth surface processes and materials, geochemistry, pollution and geohazards, evolution and geoecology. It will appeal to anyone interested in the way geology interacts with the natural environment. This four-year programme includes a placement year in industry so that you can gain valuable experience working in a relevant company or organisation as well as completing your academic studies. South Wales offers study sites in an outstanding natural landscape with a long (and heavily polluting) industrial history. It includes not only upland geomorphology and coastal environments but also landfills, heavy metal contamination, acid mine drainage, derelict land and mining subsidence, making Cardiff an excellent place to study Environmental Geoscience. This is a degree with a strongly applied perspective that will challenge you to think holistically about subjects ranging from water quality to geological hazards, from the evolution of the biosphere to climate change and from contaminated land to sustainability.<br><br>Career prospects - Based on responses from the 2016-17 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey 90% of Earth science graduates were in employment or engaged in further study within six months of graduation, with others taking time out to travel. Employers included local government plus companies and organisations such as the Environment Agency, BAM Construct UK, Airbus and Wales and West Utilities. Career destinations included the water industry, local authority waste management, environmental adviser in the construction industry, software analyst in surveying, environmental consultant and pollution monitoring.
