You will start your studies by ensuring a good grounding in Geology and geological principals. In the final two years (Honours) the degree specialises to focus on geology relevant to the petroleum industry, but with a focus on skills applicable to any geoscience problem. You are therefore well placed to pursue careers across the breadth of geoscience sub-disciplines, or careers that involve problem-solving and decision-making skills.

Our flexible range of courses offers both general and specialised degree qualifications. You can graduate with:

• BSc Geology and Petroleum Geology
• MGeol Geology (5 year option)

Options are available for students to graduate with a ‘sustained study’ in languages or other disciplines. We also have options for study abroad and Erasmus exchanges at year 2.
