The Applied Marine Geoscience MSc is a one-year full-time course of nine months of taught study and a three-month research project, assessed by coursework and examinations. It trains students to measure, quantify and understand physical processes in the marine geological environment and to design and execute marine surveys.

Duration: 1 year full-time  |  Intake: September  |  Study mode: full-time  |  Location: Bangor, Wales, United Kingdom

What you will study

Modules explain the processes that form sedimentary environments from the littoral zone to the deep ocean, survey techniques to map them, and the geotechnical behaviour of marine sediments under load, followed by a three-month research project.

Career pathways

Graduates enter the offshore hydrocarbons industry, geophysical and geotechnical contractors, river and harbour boards, government research agencies such as BGS, and higher education and research. Over the last eight years 78% found geo-related employment and 18% went on to a PhD.
