在资源有限的世界上，全球范围内对石油，天然气，金属和建筑材料的需求不断增长。我们的理学学士学位建立在坚实的地质基础之上，并专注于对地球自然资源勘探的应用理解。该程序提供导致形成自然资源的过程的知识，无论是碳氢化合物还是含金属矿床。在第二年和第三年之间，它还包括工业布局或应用地质测绘项目。因为他们接受过专业野外工作和专业勘探地质学家所需的IT技能的培训，所以我们的毕业生在矿物和碳氢化合物勘探行业中的需求量很大。这项为期四年的计划包括在工业界就读的一年，因此您可以获得在相关公司或组织工作以及完成学术研究的宝贵
Globally there is an ever-increasing need for oil, gas, metals and construction materials in a world where resources are finite. Our BSc degrees build on a solid grounding in geology and focuses on the applied understanding of exploration of the Earth's natural resources. The programme provides knowledge of processes that lead to the formation of a natural resource, be it a hydrocarbon or a metalliferous deposit. Between years two and three it also includes either an industrial placement or an applied geological mapping project. Because they are trained in specialist fieldwork and the IT skills needed by a professional exploration geologist, our graduates are in great demand in the mineral and hydrocarbon exploration industry. This four-year programme includes a placement year in industry so that you can gain valuable experience working in a relevant company or organisation as well as completing your academic studies. The fieldwork activities for this course are similar to those for our geology programme but with an applied aspect. In year one the main location is currently Pembrokeshire. In year two students currently visit south west England to study sedimentary basins and the tin mining legacy and northern Spain, where rock exposure is completely different from the UK. In year four you may visit mineral deposits in North Wales and Cyprus or another location, where much that you have learned previously about the formation and exploitation of ore and hydrocarbon deposits can be synthesised into a picture that truly shows the essential practical skills needed by exploration geologists.<br><br>Career prospects - Based on responses from the 2016-17 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey 90% of Earth science graduates were in employment or engaged in further study within six months of graduation, with others taking time out to travel. Employers included local government and companies and organisations such as Gemcom Software, SRK Exploration, Kuwait Oil Company and Anglo American. Typical career destinations for graduates in Exploration Geology include engineering geologist, geological consultant, exploration geologist, field geologist, mineralogist, mineral exploration, geological consultant, field mapping, oil geologist, mining software analyst, geophysical surveying and the water industry.
