A BGlobalSt/BSc conjoint allows you to complete a BGlobalSt and a BSc in less time than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. You can combine one of four majors in the BGlobalSt with a wide range of subjects spanning the full range of scientific enquiry. You'll explore the value of subjectivity and objectivity, of creativity and critique, of free thought and rational argument. You'll develop your analytical and numerical abilities as well as your written and verbal communication skills. You'll also investigate the cultural, societal and historical context of scientific discovery. The BGlobalSt/BSc usually takes four years to complete.<br><br>Earth Sciences combines the geoscientific disciplines of geology and physical geography. Earth Science graduates examine how the Earth's surface is shaped by natural and human processes, addressing the complex sustainability challenges that face our planet. Earth Sciences is about understanding how geology and surface processes interact to create the complexity of the Earth system. A holistic understanding of Earth systems allows us to learn from the past, comprehend present-day processes, and influence a sustainable future and a circular economy. The fundamental disciplines drawn from geology and physical geography include: the igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary origins of rocks and mineral-forming processes, volcanology, tectonics and structural deformation, engineering geology, geomorphology, surface processes, environmental change, climate and natural hazards, and the sustainable management of natural resources that are facilitating the global energy transition and ''green'' technology innovations. We strongly emphasise skills development and the application of your knowledge in the real world. This is through practical learning in laboratories as well as fieldwork that includes site visits for field sampling and testing, as well as equipment installation and application. You'll gain an internationally accepted qualification, excellent research skills and the knowledge to work in many exciting fields. The Auckland region provides an impressive natural laboratory, and our array of field equipment and analytical facilities supports research activities on land, in the air, and over water.
