Program Overview

Earth & Ocean Sciences, a degree programme unique in Ireland, integrates geology and oceanography to better understand how the Earth works, how its different systems interact (from the upper atmosphere down to the deep crust) and how it is able to support life. The course exposes graduates to a global career market, from sustainable sourcing of raw materials, through renewable energy, to environmental assessment and the regulation and monitoring of industries. We aim to train the scientists who can investigate issues of global change, and the course aligns with the UN's sustainability goals.
