地质学涉及构成地球的材料和塑造地球表面的过程的研究。地质学家对于了解矿产资源的开发和长期维护自然环境至关重要。专为对研究科学研究感兴趣的高成就学生而设计的专业，将为您提供地质，重要的定性和定量技能以及沟通，团队合作，领导才能和专业知识的坚实基础技能。在野外，您将熟练使用地质技术来描述，解释和预测地质关系和模型。在实验室中，您将识别岩石，矿物，沉积物，化石和矿石，以解释其起源和随后的地质历史。您将完成独家的高级单元，在其中您将学会独立进行研究项目，并将您的发现展示给同行，研究学生和学术人员。这种终极的学习经
Geology involves the study of the materials that make up earth and the processes that mould its surface. Geologists are vital for understanding the development of mineral resources and long-term maintenance of the natural environment. This specialisation – designed for high-achieving students interested in delving deep into scientific research – will equip you with a solid foundation in geology, key qualitative and quantitative skills, and communication, teamwork, leadership and professional skills. In the field, you'll proficiently use geological techniques to describe, interpret and predict geological relationships and models. In the lab, you'll identify rocks, minerals, sediments, fossils and ores to interpret their origin and subsequent geological history. You'll complete exclusive advanced units in which you'll learn to independently conduct research projects and present your findings to peers, research students and academic staff. Such culminating learning experiences will give you the knowledge and confidence to venture into a range of exciting career roles.
