MEarthSci Earth and Planetary Sciences with International Study
Competition in the graduate job market has risen dramatically over the last ten years, and students are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate themselves. An excellent way to do this is by choosing to incorporate a year studying abroad into your course.
Our MEarth Sci Earth and Planetary Science course with a Year Abroad is a 4 year degree that will allow you to study at one of our worldwide partner universities whilst completing the third year of your degree. This experience can boost your prospects in the job market and give you a new perspective on your subject area.
The third year is spent studying at one of our world-wide partner universities. These currently include universities in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The placement year is fully assessed by the host university and will involve coursework, laboratory classes and examinations. The study abroad academic tutor will be in contact with you during your stay and will provide help and support when necessary.
An MEarthSci honours degree in the Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of Manchester is focused on a holistic understanding of Earth systems in order to learn from the past, understand the present and influence the future. As Earth Science is at the cross-roads of the natural sciences, it provides an enriching alternative to a single-subject honours degree, and can open the door to an exciting range of career options.
The MEarthSci offers you the flexibility to tailor your interest in the Earth and Planetary Sciences in one of five areas of specialisation. A year studying abroad is available on the following pathways: Planetary Science, Palaeobiology, Energy and Resources, Geology with Physical Geography, and Geochemistry. The degree includes extensive field and practical training, with UK and overseas field courses in every year of study.
We are a Department of geologists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, physicists and computer scientists, who work together to study the Earth and planets. Our degree covers the full breadth of the Earth and Planetary Sciences, reflecting the main research themes that are fundamental to the work we do in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Our course will equip you with an armoury of skills to take into the world of work, including the ability to analyse problems, to work collaboratively as part of a team, and to develop field, laboratory, numeracy and communication skills.
