Description:

Geology is the science of our planet the Earth, its oceans, atmosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Geology encompasses the study of minerals and rocks that form the solid Earth, the processes that occur on and within the Earth, and the evolution of life that inhabits the Earth.

Our BSc in Geology gives you a broad view of the physical, chemical and biological processes that formed the Earth. You will learn how to observe this history within rock outcrops, and to infer the processes controlling Earth’s structure and environments.
