Course summary

The geosciences are critical to shaping the future of our planet. Geologists use their knowledge of the earth鈥檚 evolution and the physical, chemical and biological process that shape our planet, to pioneer sustainable futures. Core modules explore volcanic and seismic hazards, clean energy transitions, and long term environmental change. BSc Geology students develop an understanding of earth history through the practical study of tectonics, rocks, minerals, structures and fossils.- Our new modules address critical sustainability challenges: reducing risk from natural hazards, harnessing cleaner energy sources and how to combat climate and environmental change.- Our approachable staff share their cutting-edge research and expertise through varied teaching practices in lectures, tutorials, practical classes and field courses.- Learn to apply the latest techniques in the field and laboratory. Our substantial fieldwork programme uses the unrivalled local range of geological and geographical locations. Residential overseas fieldwork visits regions of active tectonics such as Death Valley, Italy and Sicily.- All students have the opportunity to spend your second year studying abroad in Europe, Canada, Australia, USA or elsewhere through our bilateral and ISEP exchange programmes.- Students can undertake a placement year, between the second and final year, working full time for a geological employer.- Improve your skills in our open access laboratory, LABplus.- Develop your confidence with your personal tutor, providing you with regular guidance throughout your degree programme. - Get support from students in the year ahead via our PALS mentoring scheme.- Live and study close to the sea, Dartmoor, and two geological UNESCO World Heritage sites.- Receive free essential field safety equipment as part of your welcome package.- Work towards becoming a Chartered Geologist, our accreditation by the Geological Society, the world鈥檚 oldest and most prestigious national learned society for geology, helps you to gain the required experience.- A diverse and respectful place in which to work and study is fundamental to everything we do. - Specialist academic, international fieldwork and laboratory skills provide a springboard to an exciting and diverse range of careers.
