Geology is the scientific study of the physical structure and composition of the Earth, and the tectonic processes that shape our planet.
Geologists play a critical role in the discovery, sustainable extraction and management of Earth’s resources.
The Bachelor of Science major in Geology combines a range of skills involving fieldwork, laboratory techniques and problem-solving skills to address key questions relating to our planet.
These range from mapping the Earth from space, to monitoring natural hazards, to finding critical metals required for high-tech industry and renewable energy storage.
This degree will provide numerous potential career pathways as:
Exploration and resource geologists in mining and energy industries, geo-hazard mitigation, in environmental remediation (e.g. waste management, water), Geo-technical engineering, government, and cutting-edge research in universities.
