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 pathway focuses on a key element of Earth, Planetary or Environmental Sciences, giving you the chance to specialise in the area that truly rocks your world. Whether you’re drawn to deep time, shifting tectonics, climate systems or living ecosystems, you’ll find a route that’s a natural fit.

All of our pathways include field trips throughout, because the best way to understand the planet is to get out there and experience it for yourself. After all, this is where your future takes shape.

So… which pathway will you explore first? 🌍

* Depending on which course you choose, different pathways may not be available but there is flexibility to move course and pick any of the above pathways.
