理学士（荣誉）地质学和石油地质学

提供有关地球工作方式的知识，对于理解地球资源的性质和来源至关重要。您将通过确保扎实的地质学和地质学基础开始学习。在过去的两年（荣誉学位）中，该学位专门研究与石油工业有关的地质学，但是对适用于任何地球科学问题的技能进行了研究。因此，您处于良好的位置，可以从事广泛的地球科学子学科的职业，或涉及解决问题和决策技巧的职业。学生可以选择语言或其他学科的“持续学习”课程。在第二年，我们还可以选择出国留学和伊拉斯mus交流。
Geology and Petroleum Geology is the study of how the Earth works, and in particular, the nature and origin of the Earth's natural resources.<br>Petroleum geologists use their deep understanding of the Earth's geological structures to help find and extract hydrocarbons cleanly and efficiently.<br><br>This programme is accredited by the Geological Society for London and begins with a thorough examination of main geological principles and disciplines that underpin our understanding of the structure and evolution of the Earth, and how this knowledge can be used to discover and extract natural resources.<br><br>In particular, this programme examines the main geological principles that underpin our understanding of the structure and evolution of the Earth. You will learn about the origin, structure and composition of the major rock groups and learn how we date geological events and how we gather and interpret data in the field.<br><br>In the final two years (Honours) you will specialise further in the geology related to the petroleum industry, including field and mapping techniques, structural geology & tectonics, petrology and sedimentology.<br><br>Geology at Aberdeen extends beyond the Earth to other planets. Using a combination of the vast online resources provided by NASA, and the UK Virtual Microscope's Apollo collection, students make their own investigations of aspects of the geology of the Moon and Mars and compare results with the geological evolution of Earth.<br><br>One of the main components of the final year is the 5-week independent field project, when students undertake an independent research over the summer between years 3 and 4, and much of the autumn term is focused on working up the report.
