WHICH PATHWAY IS FOR ME?

Once you've had a chance to try a little bit of everything, in Year 2 you can choose from one of our 8 dedicated pathways.*

Each of them focuses on a key element of Earth, Planetary or Environmental Sciences and allows you to specialise in an area that suits you best.

These pathways all include field trips throughout - which one do you want to explore first?
