Overview

Bachelor of Science (Earth Science)

The Earth is a fantastic place, and for an earth scientist, it offers a unique natural laboratory that covers space and time. 

Earth science is a multidisciplinary science that applies chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics tools to understand earth processes, decipher its past and predict its future. 

Earth scientists work to monitor changes in the Earth’s environment and suggest solutions to problems. 

They study natural hazards to prevent loss of life and reduce property damage. 

Earth scientists play critical roles in the search for fuels and minerals. 

Climate change, earthquakes and geothermal energy are just a few issues requiring knowledge of earth science.

Earth science (also known as Geoscience) at QUT blends the traditional fields of geology, physical geography and oceanography/ hydrology. 

Geology describes the rocky parts of the Earth’s crust (or lithosphere) and its development. 

Physical geography, which studies the Earth’s surface, includes Geo-morphology, soil science and bio-geoscience. 

The marine and freshwater parts of the Earth define the fields of oceanography and hydrology. 

Gain hands-on, practical skills and field experience using real-world examples and materials.
