...Sciences degree? I am thinking about applying to do one of these courses at UEA university in Norwich. After researching about the both, they both have similar course contents but different entry requirements. Could anyone please tell me what the difference is between them not as a degree but as a whole? Additionally, would having one of these degrees be acceptable to work for the British Geological Survey? Thank you!
 
You probably want Earth & Environmental sciences. Earth sciences involves more geology and processes that happen to the surface of the Earth, GIS and remote sensing. Environmental science has more to do with how water moves, air quality, microclimates, etc.

If you do an Environmental & Earth Science degree, you learn a bit more, but it's also a bit harder from what I've heard.
