Environmental Geoscience with Foundation Year

About this course

Environmental geoscience sits at the intersection of geology, earth science and environmental science, addressing the physical processes that shape the Earth's surface and near-surface environments and the ways in which human activity interacts with and alters them. The discipline draws on geology, hydrology, soil science, geochemistry and remote sensing to understand phenomena such as landslides, flooding, groundwater contamination, coastal erosion, climate change impacts and the geochemical cycling of elements through the environment. It is a field with enormous practical relevance as societies grapple with the environmental consequences of development and climate change. At Birkbeck College, this four-year programme includes a foundation year and combines research-led teaching, hands-on fieldwork and industry-inspired experiential learning to equip you with the knowledge and skills t
