Course summary

This BSc Geological Oceanography (with Foundation Year) 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 year, 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/pipelines routes, renewable energy infrastructure and oil and gas exploration.

The BSc Geological Oceanography (with Foundation Year) programme combines a foundation year with the three year Honours Degree to create an integrated four year programme. The programme provides an excellent introduction to studying a science subject at university and will provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to study at degree-level. The with Foundation Year programme is ideal for applicants who do not quite meet the entry requirements for the three year degree or who would benefit from further a further years study in relation to studying a science subject.

Successful completion of the Foundation Year will see you progress to Year 1 of the Geological Oceanography programme.

As a Bangor University student, you will be taught by committed and enthusiastic staff and will have access to the Universitys extensive student support network and facilities.
