<strong>Study how Earth’s physical, chemical and biological systems interact with human activity, combining fieldwork, lab and geospatial skills to tackle climate change, geohazards and environmental challenges.</strong><br/><br/>This Earth and Climate Science programme explores how our planet works and how human activity is reshaping its future. You’ll study the physical, chemical and biological processes that have shaped the Earth, its oceans, climate and the diversity of life, from deep geological time to today’s environmental challenges.<br/><br/>The programme places strong emphasis on hands‑on learning. You’ll gain practical experience through UK and overseas fieldwork, laboratory analysis and geospatial data techniques, developing the core skills used by Earth and environmental scientists. Alongside studying past environmental change, you’ll examine contemporary issues such as climate change, geohazards, and sustainable responses including policy and nature‑based solutions.<br/><br/>Through a wide range of assessments, research projects and optional work placement opportunities, you’ll build the scientific understanding, technical expertise and transferable skills needed for careers in environmental science and related fields.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)
Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
GCSE/National 4/National 5
A minimum of five GCSE passes to include English at grade C or 4 and Maths at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required.
