| * Earth Modelling and Prediction (U04033) will be required
for students with a D grade at A-level Maths, or a C Grade at Higher Maths. |
| ** A booklet giving details of appropriate course combinations
will be given to students to facilitate advance planning. |
| † Environmental Geoscience 3rd Year Field Course may
be substituted for this course. If so, students must take Aquatic Systems
in Year 3 and cannot choose any further courses from the above list of optional
Earth Science courses, nor any further course in Geography. |
