Bachelor of Science in Earth Sciences (Honours) - Geology

Learn about the fascinating and complex world under your feet by exploring topics such as geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and hydrogeology. In its four billion year old history, the Earth has changed sometimes slowly (such as mountain building) and sometimes with violent and sudden transformations that can be devastating (such as a meteorite impact). In Earth Sciences you'll learn about the make up of our planet, from rocks and soil to water and the effects of climate change. We depend upon resources that come from the Earth, such as minerals, oil, organic materials, gases, and the water we drink. Who finds these hidden and valuable resources A geoscientist Dig deep with your choice of specialization: Geology, Geophysics, or Hydrogeology. And if you're up for it, apply your knowledge through the paid work experiences co op offers. When you graduate, you’ll be eligible for a Professional Geoscientist designation and be ready to develop meaningful environmental protection plans, predict natural disasters, advance health standards for water, and more.
