Earth scientists are essential to tackling the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. From geological hazards to resource provision and climate change, they research current issues to uncover future solutions. By choosing to do a degree in Earth and environmental science, you will embark on an exciting and vital exploration of the natural environment, with opportunities to see first-hand the real-world impacts of environmental hazards and the strategies developed as a response. When you graduate, you will enter a global job market where environmentally focused professionals are highly sought after.
