The foundation course in Geology is designed for applicants who do not meet the entry criteria for the BSc (Hons) Geology degree. You'll start by completing a foundation year, which provides well structured support, allowing you to develop your scientific skills and knowledge and progress to the degree in Geology.
On this Geology course, you'll explore diverse topics, including how to describe, analyse and interpret rocks, how volcanoes are formed, how ice ages originate, how mountains form, how to search for oil and gas, and what Britain was like 500 million years ago. We pride ourselves on o?ering some of the most extensive fieldwork of any UK university Geology degree, at locations in the UK and overseas, which currently include Azores and Spain.
Geology is concerned with the Earth's origin, structure, composition and history, as well as the physical, chemical and biological processes that have formed it. By graduation, you'll understand relevant scientific principles and how to apply them to a huge range of geological questions and problems.
