地质学（荣誉）理学士

地质学是对地球，其结构，组成和历史及其危害和资源的研究。地质学使用岩石，矿物和化石来提供对4D整个地球过程的综合理解，将深层地球，其地壳，表面和相关环境联系在一起。这些知识适用于当代的地质和社会环境问题，包括自然和人为变化以及资源的可持续发展。您将参加一个激动人心的实地考察计划，其中包括海外地点和英国的实地站点，并有许多对本地站点的一日游。最初，您将学习地质学的主要主题，并在第一年学习两门课程。第一门课程涵盖基本的地质原理，包括地球结构，板块构造，地震，火山，岩石如何变形以及海洋和大洲的演化。第二门课程涵
Geology is the study of the Earth, its structure, composition, history, hazards, climate and resources. Geology provides an integrated understanding of whole Earth processes in 4D. And links the crust, surface and associated environments of the deep Earth. Our Geology graduates have gone on to work in engineering, mining and exploration, renewables and energy industries, and environmental consultancy. The flexibility of our programmes will enable you to choose your specialist subject after an integrated first and second year which will prepare you for both degrees in Geology and Environmental Geoscience.<br>Fieldwork is a fundamental part of studying Geology with us, giving you a comprehensive learning experience. You'll have the opportunity to specialise in the area of your choice, a wide range of optional courses including Planetary Science, Engineering Geology, and Climates: Past and Future are available. The School works collaboratively with the Hunterian Museum, which provides students with world-class samples to work with. State of the art equipment and software is available in our four fully dedicated laboratories, which are accessible 24 hours a day.<br>You will develop a range of spatial, analytical and computational skills. You will participate in local field classes in both years, and a residential field class in your second year, where you will develop your practical and problem-solving skills. You will participate in many local day field classes and residential field classes integrated into the core courses, as well as undertaking an independent project in your final year where you will develop and answer a research question based on data you have collected. You will also tailor your degree by choosing from a wide range of optional courses in geological and environmental topics.Recent graduates are employed by organisations in the geological, environmental and engineering sectors, including: Atkins, BAM Nuttall Ltd, Chevron, Equinor, Laing ORourke, Nordgold.
