BSc (Hons) Geological Oceanography

This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's oceans and the geological processes that shape them. You will learn about the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the ocean, as well as the processes that control their functioning. This will include topics such as ocean currents, waves, and tides, as well as the distribution and abundance of marine life. The course will also cover the geological history of the Earth's oceans, including their formation and evolution over time. Students will gain practical experience through fieldwork and laboratory analysis, and will have opportunities to apply their knowledge to real-world problems.

Additional Information

This course is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing a career in oceanography or a related field. It provides a strong foundation in the principles of geological oceanography, as well as practical skills that can be applied in a variety of settings. The course is also suitable for students who are interested in exploring the natural world and understanding the complex processes that shape our planet.

Discover the Wonders of Geological Oceanography at Bangor University

Bangor University is an ideal location for studying geological oceanography due to its proximity to the Irish Sea and the many opportunities for fieldwork. The university has a strong reputation for excellence in teaching and research in this field, and students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. Additionally, Bangor University is located in a beautiful setting with plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities and exploration.

y.This degree focuses on the study of marine sediments within an Earth system science context. It is concerned with sedimentary processes (the origin, transport and deposition of particles in the marine environment), and with marine sediments and rocks, in particular, those formed in the past 2 million years, but also further back in time. Geological Oceanographers are required to tackle issues such as climate and sea-level change, coastal erosion, marine pollution, waterway siltation and offshore engineering related to cable/pipeline routes, renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration. We are one of the largest university centers teaching marine sciences in the UK and among the biggest in Europe.

The geologists on our staff have expertise in the relevant subject areas and we have strong links with the offshore and hydrocarbon industry.
