Study Level

Undergraduate

This course provides an introduction to a range of disciplines, from geophysics to palaeontology, and from volcanology to sedimentology. Students will be taught by internationally distinguished researchers who are experts in their field. We are one of the few departments that meets the Geological Society's recommendation of a minimum 64 days' fieldwork in a BSc programme. This is a commitment that many full-time courses do not match and at present we are only one of a few geology programmes that does. Each year students will attend a major residential field course of 10-14 days. Students will also attend weekend field classes and have to undertake a substantial amount of field research on their own. Graduates can pursue careers in the oil, mineral and groundwater industries, academia or geology. This degree may also be useful in becoming an engineering geologist, geochemist, higher education lecturer, geophysicist or hydrogeologist.
