4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Geology

Discover planet Earth: from natural hazards to natural resources, from the history of life to the history of the planet itself.

Students don’t need to have studied geology before and this University of Liverpool programme can open the door to a career as a professional geologist in industries such as petroleum, mineral resources, engineering geology and environmental assessment. Students will gain thorough and highly practical training in modern geology, with a strong emphasis on fieldwork. In Years One and Two, Liverpool provides core training in all key areas of geology. Students will undertake an independent field-based project and complete a dissertation in Year Three. Year three and four field classes visit Northern Spain and Tenerife.

By the time students graduate, Liverpool's extensive field training will have equipped them with the specific practical skills necessary for a career in Earth Sciences, and students will have developed transferable life-skills and independent thinking.
