理学士（荣誉）地质与自然地理

该课程包括自然地理和地质主题之间的平衡，以及来自互补学科（如地球物理学，气象学，地貌学和环境科学）的材料。您将了解地球的历史，过去和现在的环境以及地球的资源和危害。我们将地球视为一个全球系统，包括全球环境变化的原因和影响。在英国以及在海外（目前的学生都访问过西班牙和冰岛），都非常重视发展实验室和野外工作技能。该课程结合了实地调查，实践课程，教程和讲座，提供了多种专业选择。您将特别关注研究技能：您将学习收集，分析和解释不同类型的数据，并使用专业软件和设备进行自己的研究。该计划的一大亮点是提供零成本海外选择的
Discover the rapidly evolving science at the heart of global environmental change on our Geology and Physical Geography BSc. You'll explore innovative approaches to understanding the physical and natural world and develop hands-on experience through fieldwork, laboratory activities and industry work placements. Geology professionals are highly sought after and our programme equips you with the skills to excel in careers including climatologist, exploration geologist, and nature conservation officer.Course overviewAre you curious about the world around you and eager to explore different approaches to studying our planet As we consume more of Earth’s resources, society needs individuals with geology and physical geography skills to achieve a decarbonised future and more sustainable resource extraction. Our Geology and Physical Geography BSc offers a balanced programme that incorporates elements from geophysics, meteorology, geomorphology, and environmental science.Never studied Geology or Physical Geography before We've designed this programme to provide you with a solid grounding in both subjects in year one, laying the foundation for advanced study in years two and three.Geology explores Earth’s origins, the evolution of life, and the management of natural resources. This interdisciplinary field combines environmental science, chemistry, biology, and physics, enabling you to understand the structures of Earth and other planets and identify the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring deep beneath our feet.Physical geography is vital for understanding pressing issues like population growth, climate change and economic inequality. You’ll study the processes that shape Earth’s surface, their impact on human lives, and the interactions between climate and landscape.We place a strong emphasis on developing practical skills, equipping you with the methods and techniques needed for future employment. You will gain hands-on experience using equipment, samples, and digital resources in our state-of-the-art Central Science Labs while gathering, analysing, and interpreting your own research data through residential and one-day field courses.Foundation YearOur Foundation Year provides an excellent alternative route to Keele, providing a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree, and with guaranteed entry onto your undergraduate course once you successfully complete your Foundation Year.This extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge, give you a better understanding of higher education and, perhaps most importantly of all, build your confidence.Your future careerGeology and physical geography graduates are likely to be in high demand. Our modern society requires increasing amounts of energy, raw materials and other resources of which the vast majority are discovered by geoscientists. You will graduate with a strong set of transferable skills suited to a range of different sectors including energy, environmental, engineering, education, and consultancy. To become a professional geologist, you will need to gather professional experience after gaining your degree to then apply for Chartered Geologist (CGeol) status. Your accredited degree may give you a head-start by reducing the number of years' experience you will need for chartered status.Studying geology and physical geography at degree level can lead to a variety of jobs.
