理学学士（荣誉）古生物学与进化

通过本课程，您可以通过地质和生物学研究来了解地球上生命的演变。我们的学位是跨学科的，而且无数，为您提供古生物学方面的广泛背景，包括最新方法和技术进步。您将从充满活力的古生物学专家小组中学习，兴趣范围从恐龙到植物到生命起源，从一开始就将沉浸于动手古生物学中。第一年的三分之一致力于生物学，而三分之二则致力于地球科学。第一年后，您将学习两个学科的核心单元，以及多种可选单元。最近的单位选择包括进化生物学，寒武纪爆炸，气候和生态系统，生命之树和昆虫生物学。我们对定量研究的重视使您能够开发有价值的数学和统计技能。在我
Develop an understanding of the evolution of life on this planet through the study of geology and biology.<br>Learn from experts, with interests ranging from dinosaurs to plants to the origin of life, and become fully immersed in hands-on palaeontology from the start.<br>One third of the first year is dedicated to biology and two thirds to earth science. After the first year you will take core units from both disciplines.<br>In the third year you will carry out a research project and take a range of specialist palaeontology units. Examples of current units include: Marine Micropalaeontology, where you will learn to use microfossils to reconstruct past climates and understand their impact on ecosystems, Macroevolution, where you will learn cutting-edge techniques for analysing the large-scale patterns in the evolution of life, and Vertebrate Palaeobiology and Biomechanics, where you will study the evolution of the vertebrates from fish-like creatures to humans. You will also select from a range of optional units to pursue your own interests.<br>The course involves fieldwork, including dedicated palaeontology field courses, the cost of which is included in your tuition fee.<br>Our emphasis on quantitative research allows you to develop valuable mathematical and statistical skills. There are opportunities for volunteer work and internships in our state-of-the-art palaeobiology laboratories.
