Introduction The Earth surface system is dynamic and diverse, with changes driven by the interplay of physical, chemical, geological and biological processes in a wide range of environments. Fieldwork in years two and three at Liverpool is designed specifically for this degree programme integrating geology and geomorphology. You have academic tutors from both disciplines in years one and two. The first three years of the MESci programme are shared with the BSc programme. The final year provides a wider choice of taught modules and a comprehensive fieldwork programme. In addition, you have the opportunity to design and undertake a major individual research project that will provide you with skills in analysis, synthesis, problem solving, and reporting. The unique range of skills that MESci Geology with Physical Geography students develop make them attractive to employers in the geotechnical and resource exploration industries, as well as the environmental monitoring, surveying and planning sectors. Your training will focus on practical and quantitative aspects of geological and geographical science through study of the interaction of surface and near surface processes on the Earth. Research-based dissertations on topics of your choice are undertaken in years three and four on projects that are geological and/ or geomorphological. Year four includes the opportunity for an additional field courses to Tenerife (volcanic and surface processes). A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access. ‌ What you'll learn The comprehensive study of surface and near-surface processes Specific practical skills necessary for a career in Earth Sciences Transferable life-skills and independent thinking 11 days of fieldwork in year one 18 days of fieldwork in year two 14 days of fieldwork in the Betics, Spain Show less
