Course programme
Geology is a fascinating subject which involves the scientific study of the Earth, its history, composition and processes. It is an applied science combining elements of physics, chemistry and biology with physical geography. It is a practical subject with plenty of opportunity for fieldwork and lab investigations; using rock, fossil and mineral specimens, students piece together the story of the Earth. A Level Geology provides an introduction to the main elements of the subject and equips students with basic practical skills. It also includes the detailed study of earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and volcanoes as well as other topics of applied environmental geology such as geodiversity, the finite nature of the Earth’s resources and the need for geoconservation.
