4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Master of Science - Environmental Geoscience with Study Abroad

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

This interdisciplinary, science-based degree examines the interactions between the geology, biology, chemistry and physics of Earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere. It gives students a deep understanding of Earth’s environment and how it can be influenced by human activities, together with the experience of studying at a partner university overseas. Students on Study Abroad degrees return with an appreciation of different cultures, exciting new ideas and a broader perspective of the world, all of which can lead to enhanced career prospects.

In years one and two students gain a firm grounding in earth sciences, building their knowledge to inform student's choice of advanced topics to study in the following years.

The third year is spent abroad, studying units comparable to those offered in Bristol. Recently, students have been to North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Visit Global Opportunities to find out more about where students can study abroad.

Students will spend half of their final year in Bristol on a major earth science research project. A number of previous students’ project reports have been published in scientific journals.

Bristol's close links with industry ensure that the skills gained during studies are valued by employers. Recent partners have included Shell, Chevron, Reykjavik Energy, Atkins, Environmental Resources Management and EDF.

Bristol has a tightly knit community and a programme of student-run projects, informal seminars and social events. Courses include field trips in the UK and overseas, the cost of which is included in the tuition fee. Students will be invited on a field trip just before their first term starts, so they can get to know their year group before lectures begin.
