Subject area
Earth Sciences and Geography
Grouped here when the official title names geology, geography, geophysics, geoscience, oceanography or geomatics.
Earth sciences and geography cover geology, geophysics, oceanography, physical geography and human geography, usually with fieldwork. Human geography sits closer to the social sciences while geology and geophysics sit closer to physics and chemistry.
The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.

The catalogues these were read from list programmes without declaring a level, and U4S does not infer one from a programme’s name.
