    I did Geology, which takes most of the same modules as Earth Science, and I finished last year. Is there a particular question you had about it?

    Is this a mixture of Geology and Geography?

    To be honest I'd say it's almost the same as BA in Geology and Geography, except instead of choosing one or the other, you're taking equal amounts of modules from each one (e.g. half geography, half geology). Which is pretty good to be honest, if this degree was out in my day ('06) I'd have done it. Instead I ended up having to do a BA in Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy and I'm now doing an MSc in Environmental Science. Geology is tough but interesting, it's a hard subject to do really well in (from experience of working with geologists) but it's extremely useful and there's a load of job prospects (not just oil and gas). And geography isn't too hard, some tricky bits but very interesting.
