Our ranking for research in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise puts us among the top institutions in the UK in the Earth and Environmental Sciences, with a high proportion of world-leading and internationally excellent academic staff.

We offer a range of postgraduate taught programmes as well as opportunities for postgraduate research at either MRes or PhD level.

The School is actively raising awareness of school age pupils of the variety of exciting careers available in ocean and Earth science. Discover Oceanography provides 'hands on' science aboard the research vessel RV Callista.
