Course Overview

Offered by Bangor University, the BSc (Hons) Physical Geography and Oceanography provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in sport and exercise science. Based in Bangor, Wales, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 3-year full-time structure. The land borders the ocean via the coastal zone. Understanding how these environments are related to each other is important for many societal and economic reasons, and requires an integrated approach to the subject, as most of the world’s population lives near, or exploits, the coastal zone. This course will give you research-led teaching of both terrestrial (rivers, glaciers) and marine (waves, tides, density currents, sea level) processes. Home/uk fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 75% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £24,000 within three years, a 90% continuation rate, and 85% of graduates in employment or further study.
