About Bsc Geophysics in The University of Edinburgh

This is about understanding the Earth's systems interactions and complexities. We can explore everything from liquid metal in the Earth's core to moving continents on the Earth surface. We study the composition of the deep Earth to the rapidly changing composition of the Earth's atmosphere.

We will teach you to understand our world, so you can help safeguard its future.

You'll study the properties and forces, both small and large, that act on planetary or even inter-planetary scales.

For example:

• the microscopic properties of minerals
• large scale forces such as gravity and magnetism
• the inner workings of the Earth

We will train you in fundamental physical principles and mathematical techniques of geophysics.

You will learn to apply these techniques to diverse fields, for example:

• monitoring the Earth's changing environment and climate
• mapping environmental pollution above and below ground
• measuring rock and soil properties before civil engineering work
• carbon capture, energy storage and management of water resources
• technological innovations to sustainably explore and manage the Earth's resources for society's needs
• understanding the behaviour of the Earth's deep interior
• understanding how the Earth and other planets have formed and changed over their lifetime

By studying this degree, you will learn from our wide range of experienced academics across a diverse range of Earth science disciplines. Our research-led, industry-informed teaching ensures your degree has real-world relevance and helps make you highly sought after by employers.

We embrace a hands on approach to learning, so you can develop in-demand practical skills. Many of your activities simulate those that professionals perform in the real world.
