BSc国际野外地球科学（IFG）是理学学士学位的联合本科学位，其重点是野外关键地质问题的文献记录，解释和综合。该学位以现有模块的骨干为基础，这些模块是UCC和蒙大拿大学当前的地质课程的基础，并且侧重于在跨文化环境中发展基于实地学习的知识。
Geoscience at UCC centres on the study of the history of the Earth, its chemical and physical composition, its structure and evolution. The course allows the following of one of three themes in third and fourth year, these are geoscience, environmental geoscience, and palaeobiology. The core of the course investigates the functioning, development, and use of Earth’s physical environment and involves the study of its crust and interior, its atmosphere and oceans, its surface processes, paleo-climatic and environmental changes and the fossil record. It also involves the study of Earth's natural and physical resources and incorporates interdisciplinary subjects across the traditional disciplines of geology, geography, geophysics, geochemistry, oceanography, and biological sciences. The study of Geoscience is centre to a number of highly important challenges to human-kind in the 21st Century. These include the search for natural resources e.g. minerals required for battery production and clean groundwater: the predication and mitigation of geohazards e.g. earthquakes, flooding, and tsunamis: the production of green energy from Earth process e.g. tidal energy, onshore and offshore windfarms: the sustainable development of infrastructure e.g. contaminated ground remediation and geotechnical site investigation.
