The course is delivered by a research-active team whose research informs your learning. Our researchers have expertise in areas such as: igneous petrology, geochemistry, hydrology and hydrogeology, mineral deposits, sedimentology and geomorphology.
You will develop practical skills through extensive fieldwork in destinations such as Spain and Cyprus, as well as through access to specialist equipment for geochemistry, field-based geophysical surveying and the laboratory characterisation of geological samples.
You also have the opportunity to take a placement year, which is a great way to build your knowledge and skills, make contacts in industry and increase your confidence and employability.
