About this course

Physical geography and oceanography together form one of the most far-reaching scientific partnerships available to undergraduate study. Physical geography examines the processes that shape the Earth's surface, from glacial erosion and river systems to climate dynamics and soil formation, while oceanography extends that enquiry into the world's seas, exploring ocean circulation, marine chemistry, sediment transport, and the role of the oceans in regulating global climate. Studying the two together gives you an unusually integrated perspective on how land, water, and atmosphere interact across geological and human timescales. At Bangor University you will study this programme over three years, with the option of a foundation year to build your scientific foundations before the degree proper begins. The programme includes both a sandwich year and a year abroad, offering you the chance to
