MESci（荣誉）地质学

地质学是地球，海洋，大气层，岩石圈和生物圈的科学。地质学包括对形成固体地球的矿物和岩石的研究，在地球上和地球内部发生的过程以及居住在地球上的生命的演化。我们的地质学学位使您可以广泛了解形成地球的物理，化学和生物过程。您将学习如何在岩石露头中观察这一历史，并推断出控制地球结构和环境的过程。MESci在相当于BSc的基础上，通过第四年的课程提供有关假设检验，批判性分析和问题解决的专业培训，同时了解研究的过程和结果。您将与您所选择的主题领域的成员一起从事您所选择的主题领域的专业研究项目，并在MESci实地课程中
To find solutions to some of the biggest problems facing our planet today we need to understand the Earth's history and processes. Geologists use their knowledge of past climates and hazards to understand and address the challenges we face from issues like climate change and natural disasters. <br> <br>On our Geology course, you will explore how rocks and minerals are formed, how animals evolve over geological time, what causes earthquakes and volcanoes and how geology impacts our lives today. You will develop skills in fieldwork, data capture, analysis and confident decision making. Weve worked with industry to design our degree so you graduate with the specialist skills needed to be a professional geologist.<br><br>We make the most of our location and take regular field trips in South Wales to explore how geology impacts the landscapes and the industry of the region. There will also be opportunities to do overseas trips, in the past weve been to Spain and Cyprus.<br><br>Our Master's degree involves a fourth year of study where you work on an exploration research project with an academic from the School. You will develop advanced skills in research and gain experience in scientific writing and presentation at a professional level.
