Overview

Bachelor of Science (Applied Geology)

Geologists study how the Earth works, including the natural planetary processes that directly affect people such as: 

The formation of mineral and petroleum resources, geological hazards, climate change and environmental protection

In this course, you will gain a thorough grounding in theoretical geology with a practical emphasis on mineral, petroleum and groundwater resources and their environmental management.

In your first year, you will gain a foundation in geology, chemistry, physics, maths, scientific communication and computer skills. 

Your second year focuses on the theoretical, laboratory and field skills required to understand geological processes.

Your final year provides comprehensive coverage of one stream: Applied Geology, Mining Geology or Petroleum Geology.

The first two years of this course are based in Perth. 

The third-year Applied Geology stream is offered at Curtin’s Perth campus, Mining Geology is offered at the Kalgoorlie campus, and Petroleum Geology is offered at Curtin Malaysia.
