What our students say...
In studying Geophysics at Leicester I was able to explore every aspect of the subject; I was given opportunities to design my own surveys, to study abroad and to work with the most enthusiastic people. The course has a great diversity of modules and field work. The Department is very friendly and staff were always there for support when  I needed it! Studying geophysics at Leicester really made me want to go on to do research for a PhD.
