Earth and Environmental Science (with Foundation Year)

**Understanding how the Earth works, the forces that shape it and how we can use its resources in a sustainable way is crucial to the future of our planet.**<br/><br/>From day one, you’ll be trained to become a sustainably-minded geoscientist. Using your passion to drive an environmentally-sensitive world, well empower you to join us in helping to build a fairer, sustainable, carbon neutral future.<br/><br/>Not only that - youll develop skills in observation and analysis in order to understand Earth and environmental processes across a range of timescales, both locally and globally.<br/><br/>Learning by doing is an important part of the course, whether you’re getting your hands dirty in the labs or treading the soil in Spain. And the best bit is, all your core field trip costs are included in your tuition fees.<br/><br/>Our staff are at the forefront of research in their field, with solid connections to policy makers and industries that can drive real change.<br/><br/>As we speak, they’re out studying the latest solutions to climate change, geological hazards, mass extinctions and volcanism. And they bring all this knowledge back to you through research-led teaching.<br/><br/>Once you graduate, you’ll be qualified to pursue geological careers in environmental consulting, remediation, renewable energies, exploration geology, surveying and engineering.<br/><br/>Or you can put the transferable practical, research and numerical skills you’ll develop to good use in a wholly different way: teaching, finance, data analysis, and more.<br/><br/>The foundation year has been designed to give you the skills and knowledge for entry on to the degree.<br/><br/>**Official Team GB partners**<br/><br/>Did you know that the University of Hull is the official University Partner of Team GB?
