This programme provides a route into a number of BSc (Hons) degrees in earth or ocean sciences; it is especially suitable for students without a strong background in science.

You will follow a Foundation Year at Carmel College (St Helens, nine miles from the University of Liverpool), where the class sizes are small and the standards of academic achievement high.

You will then follow one from:

• Geology (F600)
• Geology and Physical Geography (F6F8)
• Geophysics (Geology) (F640)
• Geophysics (Physics) (F656)
• Ocean Sciences (F700)
• Geography and Oceanography (FF78)
• Mathematics with Ocean and Climate Sciences (G1F7)
• Marine Biology with Oceanography (C1F7).

There has never been a better time to study Ocean Sciences: to understand how the oceans are warming, where sea level is rising, how the oceans are taking up carbon from the atmosphere, and how these changes are affecting plankton and marine life. Our degree programmes are designed to provide you with the skills to tackle these global environmental challenges. The vast majority of our recent graduates gain employment within a degree-related field or continue further within education and research after graduation.
