Geology BSc

Geologists are at the forefront of tackling modern global challenges across all sectors of the economy, from resource exploration to civil engineering, natural hazard mitigation, energy security, and research. For example, in the Net Zero transition, geologists are key to securing the critical metals that underpin technological solutions, and projects that will deliver clean energy, water and sustainable food supplies. This means demand for geologists is only going to grow into the future. Our Geology BSc will equip you with a deep understanding of the Earth system, learning how the landscape was sculpted over hundreds of millions of years by the clash of continents, the rise of life, and the grinding of ice sheets. By applying that knowledge to Earth resources, or hazards like volcanism, earthquakes and climate change, you’ll learn how to tackle crucial geological problems.
