| Description | If you are exploring the possibility of a PhD degree in Earth Sciences, you will: have either done an undergraduate degree in an earth science subject or, perhaps, want to use your degree from another science subject such as physics, chemistry, mathematics or biological sciences; be relishing the stimulus of one of the UK's premier research departments.
Our students are greatly sought-after. Over the last five years, about 25 per cent of our 80 PhD postgraduates have gone to careers in the commercial sector; 25 per cent to research fellowships; 30 per cent to work on research grants and contracts; 10 per cent directly into university teaching posts and 10 per cent into non-scientific posts including the civil service. Many of the research fellows have also subsequently gone into industry, university and research institute posts. | | |
