Earth Sciences with Foundation Year

About this course

Earth sciences is the study of the planet we live on: its physical structure, its chemical composition, the processes that shape its surface and interior, and its history over billions of years. It is an inherently interdisciplinary field, drawing on geology, geochemistry, geophysics, biology, and geography to understand natural systems of extraordinary complexity. And it has never been more relevant, as questions about climate change, sustainable energy, natural hazards, mineral resources, and the long-term habitability of the planet all require the kind of deep Earth understanding that this discipline provides. At the University of Derby, this four-year full-time degree is a genuinely multi-disciplinary programme that combines science with humanity-based disciplines including biology, chemistry, geography, geology, geochemistry, natural and environmental sciences, and physics.
