Course Overview

MSci Geological Oceanography is a specialized science program that focuses on the study of the Earth’s oceans, marine geology, seabed processes, coastal environments, and the physical and chemical changes that shape ocean systems. The course combines geology, ocean science, environmental science, and field-based research to help students understand how marine environments evolve over time.

Students explore key areas such as plate tectonics, sedimentology, marine ecosystems, climate change, ocean circulation, coastal processes, geophysics, and environmental monitoring. Through practical learning, laboratory work, and field studies, this program prepares students for careers in marine research, environmental consultancy, energy, coastal management, and geoscience-related industries
