Direct entry to second year Environmental Earth Sciences BSc (Hons) 2020 entry
It is possible for students applying for the single Honours BSc in Environmental Earth Sciences to enter directly into the second year of study, meaning you will complete your degree in three years instead of four.
This option is offered to students with excellent A-Level or International Baccalaureate qualifications. SQA qualifications without a Geology component will not be accepted (the Geology component was discontinued in 2016).
Students who enter directly to second year will take modules required by the Environmental Earth Sciences BSc programme from second year on, along with an additional practical and field skills module specifically designed for direct entry students.
Direct entry students will have the opportunity to study abroad during their second year of study.
To find out more information, or to discuss the possibility of direct entry to second year, please contact the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
