Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: F640
Here's what University of Bristol says about its Environmental Geoscience course.
Join a University ranked second in the UK for 'Earth systems and environmental sciences' research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top ten for Geology, which includes Earth Sciences, Complete University Guide 2024).
Examine the interactions between the geology, biology, chemistry and physics of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, and gain a deep understanding of Earth's environment and how it can be influenced by human activities.
Learn with experts whose research feeds directly into your studies at the cutting edge of scientific developments. Recent final-year units have included Hydrology, Geomicrobiology, Environmental Impact Assessments, Oceans and Climates, and Environmental Radioactivity.
In your final year, you'll also conduct your own independent project and explore the questions that matter most to you.
We are a friendly community with informal seminars, both academic and industry-facing and social events. You will gain plenty of hands-on experience, with an extensive programme of fieldwork both in the UK and overseas, the cost of which is included in your tuition fee. Field trips are a huge part of why our school community is so close-knit, giving you the chance to get to know your coursemates and key staff while honing your practical skills.
The skills developed throughout your studies are highly valued by employers: from scientific and technical skills including coding, numerical modelling, chemistry lab skills, and data analysis, to transferable skills such as communication, creativity and resilience.

Variety of different societies offered. Lots of polls etc. sent out so seemed to have an interest in student voices. Subsidised food :)

Excellent night life + gay scene. Also lots of excellent art events (markets, little arthouse cinemas, museums) if you're so inclined. Not crazy-busy, for a city.

Low-income, and so was offered a lot of additional assistance. Still, Bristol is quite an expensive place to live, so do be wary.

Welfare services were fantastic with me, fast-tracked my transfer to Student Health Services and got me a same-day appointment. Tutors and lecturers have also, as mentioned, been very supportive and down-to-earth, even in their criticisms.

Facilities are beautiful, usually very clean. Physics and philosophy buildings have lovely little gardens. Will's Memorial library is gorgeous and makes a very, very cosy study space. Incredibly easy to reserve, borrow, & auto-renew books through the library system. Some 24-hour libraries too, which...

Decently-structured timetable: not too overwhelming, but enough things on each day to justify commuting. Had enough time to get to each location. Feedback was generally very good---better on the maths side I would say, however my first philosophy essay received some incredibly thorough feedback. Lec...

University of Bristol open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
