The Bachelor of Science (Earth Sciences) at UOW takes advantage of the diverse NSW South Coast environment, which is an ideal location to undertake specialist training in Earth Sciences.
This setting provides substantial fieldwork opportunities in addition to the laboratory-based learning you will undertake during the course.
The Bachelor of Science major in Earth Sciences combines a range of skills involving fieldwork, practical experience and research to develop knowledge of our Earth and the processes that have impacted, moulded and continue to influence the planet on which we live.
This degree will provide numerous potential career pathways in the following areas:
Geohazard mitigation, environmental remediation (e.g., waste management, water), geotechnical engineering, government, geologists employed in the minerals and energy industries, and undertaking cutting-edge research in universities.
What you will study
In your first year, you will study a range of disciplines to build a solid foundation in scientific knowledge and practice.
You then focus on Earth Sciences subjects from the second year onward.
On completion, high-performing students considering further study or a research career should consider the Bachelor of Science Honours program.
This one-year degree offers students a pathway to expand their knowledge in Earth Sciences and achieve their research aspirations.
