UCAS code: 8T16
Here's what Edge Hill University says about its Geology with Physical Geography course.
Our Geology with Physical Geography degree will introduce you to Earth sciences and geology. Join us on adventures across the UK and abroad to complete fieldwork and carry out science in our campus labs.
Over millions of years geological processes, structures and materials have shaped and influenced the planet we live on. This degree will guide and instruct those who are passionate about the Earth and its geology.
You’ll take part in national and international fieldwork to learn about hard and soft rock geology, before the focus shifts to applied geology during the last year of the degree. With a geological emphasis, you’ll also explore physical geography topics like landscape dynamics, climate and environmental change, and natural hazards. Fieldwork destinations across Europe will provide an essential practical dimension to your degree. Previous locations have included Edinburgh, Tenerife and the Scottish Highlands. You can also tailor your degree to your interests, with the opportunity to select subject-specific and complementary modules.
After three years of study, you’ll have honed many transferable skills useful for working in public and private sector organisations. You might consider roles in conservation, geological exploration, environmental management or environmental education. To help you plan for life after Edge Hill, our tailored careers and employability activities can help you identify and make your next move.

The SU website is very confusing.

Campus is always clean and tidy, it feels quite safe. The SU club is enjoyable and fun to go on a night out. Ormskirk has a lot to offer in terms of fun and activities.

Accommodation costs are ridiculous, the rooms are very small. I have contacted finance support and they were very rude to me because I had spent my entire student loan. The shop is way too expensive for groceries.

Inclusion helped me when I needed extra support during a difficult time at uni.

The gym is really accessible, it is a good price. The library is very big so you can always get a spot, it is always clean and a nice environment.

It is very interesting. The teachers take time to get to know you and teach you the course content. They give feedback on all essays and you can meet with them to discuss feedback and how to improve.
