Program Description
WHAT IS GEOLOGY?
Geology is the science that investigates how the Earth was formed, how life arose and evolved, why the Earth looks like it does today, what resources it contains and how we can find them. The discipline draws on knowledge from many different aspects of science such as chemistry, biology, and physics as well as other subjects such as geography and environmental science. Our society is based on the work of geologists in the hunt for natural resources for energy and materials for modern living. This means that future job opportunities for geologists are excellent as society develops increasing needs for these resources.GEOLOGY WITH INTEGRATED MASTER'S
Geology with Integrated Master's studies the Earth's processes and materials, and the economic and sustainable methods of discovering and utilising its resources. Our applied four-year course enables you to develop an advanced subject understanding and to spend your fourth year studying with colleagues in a familiar surrounding.COURSE STRUCTURE
Geology with Integrated Master's is an applied course that examines the Earth, its structure, formation, composition, history, processes, hazards and materials. This course covers a range of topics which may include looking at rocks, minerals and fossils and geological processes. Beyond that, a range of optional modules allow you to tailor your degree towards your individual interests and/or career aspirations. The course adds an additional Master’s level year to our BSc Geology degree programme, during which there is a strong emphasis on developing the vocational and research skills you will need to work in industry or advance in academia.YEAR ONE
The first year of the programme is carefully designed to bring together the diverse learning experiences across the cohort, enabling common understanding of geoscience topics.You will study topics such as the structure, formation, composition and history of the Earth, natural hazards, minerals and rocks, and paleontology. To complement your theoretical learning, you will gain practical experience to develop skills in statistics, programming and fieldwork in both laboratory and field-based environments.
YEAR TWO
During the second year, particular attention is paid to observation, recording and interpretation of geological phenomena in the field and laboratory. It is the intention that by the end of the second year you will have been given a complete grounding in geology that will allow you to carry out your own independent geological studies. Work relevant experience will be gained through a dedicated employability module.YEAR THREE
The third year consists of core modules and the opportunity to personalise your degree by choosing from a wide variety of optional modules.Core modules include:- A week-long residential course - dedicated to the study of geological structures and igneous and metamorphic rocks in the field
- An independent field project
- Economic geology - an exploration of earth materials that can be used for economic and/or industrial purposes
YEAR FOUR
In your final year, you will continue to develop your breadth and depth of knowledge in the geosciences, as well as extending your research and data handling skills. The focus of the final year is a major research project on a topic of your choosing. The Master’s level field course simulates a real world geological industry scenario to help develop your employability skills. You will acquire a wide range of transferable skills, including communication, decision-making and problem-solving skills, and the ability to research, evaluate and synthesise information from diverse sources. You will develop subject specific-skills like the ability to manipulate, analyse and present geospatial data using industry standard GIS and drawing software.FIELDWORK
Fieldwork is an essential component of a Geology degree, it provides the opportunity to relate the theory and practical activities covered in class to a natural laboratory. Our curriculum includes fully integrated fieldwork opportunities that will enable you to apply your theoretical knowledge to the real world. These practical experiences provide you with the opportunity to develop and refine the skills required for a career within industry.Fieldwork activities may include:- Designing and interpreting appropriate near-surface geophysical surveys for an environmental or geotechnical investigation
- Interpreting and analysing geological information from aerial photographs
- Mapping and classification of geological structures
- Producing geological maps and properly structured geological reports
- Studying the main rock types and their geological structures
- Using geographical information system and remote sensing techniques to visualise and analyse geoscience data
LEARN FROM OUR CAMPUS - OUR OWN 'LIVING LABORATORY'
Our unique 600-acre campus offers a fantastic experimentation environment to perform fieldwork, test new ideas and discover solutions to real-world problems. The diverse habitats and environments across our campus enable you to learn in an authentic environment whilst practicing sustainably.SPEND A YEAR IN INDUSTRY
In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. Between years two and three of your degree, you can spend a year gaining practical experience with a geologically-focused company or organisation. This will benefit you by providing familiarisation with the professional working environment and the opportunity to apply the geological skills and theories you have learnt.STUDY ABROAD
In between years two and three of your studies you can choose to spend a time studying abroad. This exciting opportunity enable you to understand your field from different cultural perspectives and to establish international networks. It also shows you have the personal attributes to embrace new experiences which can enhance your employability.We offer exchange opportunities with a wide variety of partner institutions.
SUPPORT
We offer a multi layered support structure to help you meet your academic and personal needs. Our open-door policy enables you to engage with us directly, meaning you can seek support, gain feedback or discuss any matters on a regular basis. You will benefit from the support of the dedicated Faculty Student Experience and Support team who offer advice, guidance and one to one support. Additionally you will be assigned an academic mentor who will support you throughout your degree.Other Requirements
