BSc in Marine Science with Study Abroad, University of Exeter

Earth System Science is a comprehensive program that introduces students to the mechanisms and feedback responses in the Earth’s climate system. The course involves hands-on learning through field trips such as the Isles of Scilly and the linked Ice Sheets module in the second year. It covers key topics in marine climate and ecosystem change, emphasizing research methods like sclerochronology to reconstruct historical marine climate patterns. The program offers students the opportunity to engage in field research, including multi-year cruises in Antarctic regions, and learn from leading experts in the field. The curriculum is designed to give students an in-depth understanding of long-term climate processes, sea level impacts, and ocean circulation, preparing them for advanced research or careers in Earth and Environmental Sciences.
