Ocean and Geophysics

About this course

Ocean and geophysics brings together two closely connected branches of earth science. Oceanography is the study of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the world's oceans, examining how ocean currents circulate heat around the planet, how marine chemistry sustains life, and how the oceans interact with the atmosphere and climate system. Geophysics applies the methods of physics to the solid Earth and its interior, using seismic waves, gravity measurements, and magnetic and electromagnetic techniques to understand the structure and dynamics of the planet. Together, these disciplines are central to our understanding of how the Earth works as a system. At Bangor University, this three-year full-time programme includes an integrated foundation year, giving students a solid grounding in physical science and mathematics before advancing to specialist ocean and geophysics study
