通过本课程，您可以通过地质和生物学研究来了解地球上生命的演变。我们的学位是跨学科的，而且无数，为您提供古生物学方面的广泛背景，包括最新方法和技术进步。您将从充满活力的古生物学专家小组中学习，兴趣范围从恐龙到植物到生命起源，从一开始就将沉浸于动手古生物学中。第一年的三分之一致力于生物学，而三分之二则致力于地球科学。第一年后，您将学习两个学科的核心单元，以及多种可选单元。最近的单位选择包括脊椎动物古生物学和进化，进化生物学，寒武纪爆炸，气候和生态系统，生命之树生态学，早期人类起源以及生物力学和功能形态学。我们
Develop an understanding of the evolution of life on this planet through the study of geology and biology. Our degrees are interdisciplinary and provide you with a broad background in palaeobiological science, including state-of-the-art methods and technological advances.<br>Learn from experts with interests ranging from dinosaurs to plants to the origin of life and be fully immersed in hands-on palaeontology from the start.<br>One third of the first year is dedicated to biology and two thirds to earth science. After the first year you will take core units from both disciplines. In the third year you will carry out a research project, take a range of specialist palaeontology units and select from a range of optional units to pursue your own interests.<br>Current units include: Marine Micropalaeontology, where you will use microfossils to reconstruct past climates, Macroevolution, where you will learn techniques for analysing the large-scale patterns in evolution, and Vertebrate Palaeobiology and Biomechanics<br>Our MSci course allows you to study more advanced material in greater depth during the additional year, giving you a career boost by investing in your skills development or preparing you for further research.<br>Our emphasis on quantitative research allows you to develop valuable mathematical and statistical skills. There are also opportunities for volunteer work and internships in our state-of-the-art palaeobiology laboratories.<br>The course involves fieldwork, including dedicated palaeontology field courses, the cost of which is included in your tuition fee.
