Bachelor of Science (Earth and Ocean Sciences)

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

National University of Ireland Galway NUIG

Program Overview

The great societal challenges of this century - and many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals - are directly related to earth and ocean science: increasing vulnerability to geological hazards (floods and earthquakes); increasing need for renewable energy to replace oil and gas and to capture and store anthropogenic carbon; increasing demand for rare minerals and metals to support modern technology; and increasing need to sustainably manage all water resources as our climate changes. How do we rise to these challenges and how can we plan against their impacts? EOS is perfectly placed to train you as a geoscientist equipped with the academic, technical and field skills required to better understand both the complex processes of planet Earth and our interactions with them.
