Local connections

Based in the same building as the Welsh office of the British Geological Survey and next door to the National Museum of Wales.

Professionally accredited

Accredited by the Geological Society, the professional body for geosciences in the UK.

An environmental geoscientist uses their understanding of the planet and its processes to predict hazards like floods and earthquakes, clean up dangerous waste, and help civil engineers plan the construction of new roads, tunnels or buildings. On this three-year course, you will develop advanced skills in mapping, research, analysis and problem-solving.

South Wales has a rich geological history and is ideal for teaching how geology impacts on landscapes and industry. We make the most of our location and take regular day trips to areas of natural beauty and old industrial and mining sites, as well as overseas trips to places like Tenerife and Cyprus.

We've worked with industry to design our degree so you graduate with the specialist skills needed to be a professional environmental geoscientist.
