What you will study

The mission of this course is to develop the technical knowledge and skills required for graduating students to work in interdisciplinary careers that ensure the sustainable supply of energy and technology deployed to reduce atmospheric carbon by: supplying energy from the subsurface storing energy in the subsurface long-term atmospheric carbon storage storing waste from energy streams developing environmentally-sustainable solutions for sustainable future energy supply This education and training will be facilitated by integration of fundamental theoretical knowledge, field-, laboratory and computational tools, through blended learning, tutorials, seminars, field trip and group work.

Career pathways

The energy industry is the largest employer of earth science graduates, and employs more than half of our recent graduating students. Good employment prospects exist within the UK and globally in energy companies, service companies, consultancies and government bodies.
