海洋与地球物理学学士（荣誉）

物理海洋学家和海洋地球物理学家的需求量很大，需要解决诸如预测未来气候和海平面变化，海洋污染扩散和海洋可再生能源开发之类的问题。该计划的目的是激发和培养学生成为专业的物理和地球物理海洋科学家，无论是从事研究还是从事工业。本课程通过向学生提供技能和知识的适当组合来实现这一目标。通用技能，例如自我学习，时间管理，数字技能以及特定主题的技能，包括数字问题解决和在自然环境中进行观察。在第3年，学生将按照海洋物理路线（专注于过程理解和数值建模）或地球物理学路线（专注于表征和观察近地表海洋沉积环境）进行专业研究。因此，
About This CourseThis degree focuses on the role of the oceans in the Earth system and their influence on climate; past, present and future. The first two years aim at developing a general understanding of the Earth system and the role of the oceans within that system. There is particular focus on the roles of the shallow seas, which surround the continents, and on interactions between ice and the oceans. In the third year you will then specialise with modules including computer modelling of the ocean and a geophysical residential field work. This course therefore places a particular emphasis on gaining skills and knowledge of direct relevance to industry, particularly in relation to issues such as future climate change, sea level rise, marine pollution and exploitation of marine renewable energy. You will be able to investigate practical aspects of physical oceanography through computer modelling, laboratory experiments and fieldwork, which includes a programme on our research ship.Why choose Bangor University for this course World-leading research and teaching spanning 50 years. Our expertise covers all aspects of marine science, with research interests spanning tropical coral reefs to the polar oceans. Local fieldwork takes place in the UNESCO designated GeoMôn geopark, Snowdonia National Park, the Menai Strait and the Irish Sea.Facilities include a research ship, supercomputers, state-of-the art survey equipment and oceanographic moorings for data collection.We share our site with Marine Centre Wales, providing direct links with industry, and those involved with marine renewables, providing opportunities for you to undertake projects with industry.CareersThis course is ideal preparation for careers, in both industry and academia, associated with marine renewables, climate change research, offshore survey, coastal zone management and broadcast media, where the ability to collect and analyse and animate large numerical data sets using computers and computer graphics is in high demand.<br><br>We have a strong record of employability supported by a large Alumni network, which contains many of the leaders of the UK’s offshore industry including marine renewable energy. Many of our graduates return regularly to talk to current undergraduates about career prospects. Alumni also offer direct and personal career advice on request by individual students.
