COURSE OVERVIEW

Geologists study how the Earth works, including the natural planetary processes and issues directly affecting people, such as viability of resources, geological hazards, climate change and environmental protection.

In this 4 year course, you will combine a thorough grounding in theoretical and practical Geology with technical and commercial skills. The first year gives you a basic foundation in Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Scientific communication and computer skills, and an Introductory to Geology. The second year focuses on the theoretical, laboratory and field skills required to understand geological processes. The third year provides comprehensive coverage of all applied disciplines of geology, including Basin Analysis and Petroleum Systems, Formation Evaluation, Petroleum Engineering and Sustainable development and Tectonics and Dynamic Earth. The final year (Honours) focuses on an independent dissertation and includes courses on Geoscience Professional Practice and Petroleum Engineering.
