Discover planet Earth: from natural hazards to natural resources, from the history of life to the history of the planet itself. You don’t need to have studied geology before and this programme can open the door to a career as a professional geologist in industries such as petroleum, mineral resources, engineering geology and environmental assessment. You will gain thorough and highly practical training in modern geology, with a strong emphasis on fieldwork. The Geology MESci (Hons) shares the first three years with Geology BSc (Hons), with the final year providing more advanced training in all aspects of geology.<br><br>In years one and two, we provide core training in all key areas of geology. You will undertake an independent field-based project and complete a dissertation in year three. Modules specific to the four-year programme include volcanic processes, mineral deposits, and research methods. Year three and four field classes visit Northern Spain and Tenerife.<br><br>In year four, you will work within one of our research groups and complete a major geological research project. This will involve development of research and communication skills through a project proposal, literature review, journal-style manuscript and conference-style talk. Results often get published in international journals.<br><br>There is scope for an industrial placement with organisations such as Shell, BP, Exxon-Mobil, RioTinto, Anglo-American, the Environment Agency and the British Geological Survey.<br><br>Many of our students successfully complete internships in industry between years three and four.<br><br>You will choose from a wide range of applied and more academic modules to create your own pathway. Again, there is high level of field-based training designed specifically to give you skills in data analysis, synthesis, problem solving, research and reporting your results.<br><br>Semester two of year three can be spent abroad at a partner university in Australia or New Zealand.<br><br>A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.
