Earth Sciences uni choice

Would Manchester or Edinburgh be better for me to study Earth sciences at? I'm mainly interested in renewable energy, energy, and natural resources!

Hi @Parzi145,
I'm in my 3rd year studying Physical Geography at Lancaster. It might be best to have a look on the course pages for the Earth science degrees at Manchester and Edinburgh as they should have a list of modules you would study, so you can see which of these you are interested in.
Through my degree at Lancaster, I've learnt a fair amount about renewable energy technologies and natural resources, and did a module last year called 'Energy, economy and the Environment' which i really enjoyed as it went in depth about the different energy sources. If you were interested in having a look at Geography or Earth and Environmental science at Lancaster I've attached the course pages so you can see the types of modules that are available.
