The degree is similar to our Earth Science BSc Honours, but includes a year of advanced study at master's level.

Earth science covers everything from the formation of rocks and minerals to the impact of human activity on the environment.

This degree prepares you for a wide range of possible careers – from geology to geomatics, and from geochemistry to environmental consultant. Whatever you choose, you'll be equipped with relevant skills in:

• experimental science
• fieldwork
• scientific investigation
• project management

Your final year research project will deepen your knowledge and enable you to work with internationally leading researchers and professionals.

The first three years of this degree follow the same programme as our Marine Engineering BEng Honours degree. It provides the expertise to design specialist systems demanding the latest technologies. You'll be prepared to face the challenges of developing advanced alternative power systems that are eco-friendly, ultra-efficient and reliable.

You’ll learn from research-active professors from across the globe, bringing their cutting-edge ideas into the classroom. You'll benefit from using our specialist facilities.
After learning the fundamentals of marine technology, you'll move on to specialist marine engineering modules.

You spend two-thirds of your time studying mathematics and statistics, and one-third studying topics in accountancy and corporate finance in Newcastle University Business School.

Alongside core modules from our mathematics and statistics programmes, you will take specialist topics with financial applications, such as financial modelling.

This is complemented by corporate finance modules, including interpreting company accounts and international finance management.
