You will initially follow the first two years of the Earth Sciences degree programme in a chosen specialty: Geology, Environmental Geoscience, Geophysics or Earth Sciences (including Palaeobiology) but with an alternative option of a foreign language if you intending to study in a non English speaking country. Fieldwork provides a unique opportunity to develop independent and team skills and problem-solving abilities.
Your third year is spent abroad, and you will return to UCL for your final year.
The number of places available for direct entry onto the International programme is limited and, therefore, competitive. Eligibility to continue will be assessed in both the first and second years of study. Students failing to maintain the required standard will be transferred to the corresponding normal MSci or BSc programme.
