Welcome to the Department of Geology

Choosing a degree, and a university to study at, is a difficult task and is one of the major decisions you will make in your life. We hope you find all the information you need here on our website, or in our brochure (see link on right). If you need further advice, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions team.

We are looking for students who:

  • Have an enthusiasm for scientific study and an enquiring mind.
  • Are willing to embrace new ideas and challenge existing views.
  • Enjoy problem solving and developing new skills.
  • Are looking for a challenging degree course.

We encourage you to visit the Department, either on a pre-application Summer Open Day, or a UCAS Visit Day once you have applied. You are guaranteed a warm welcome and will have the opportunity to talk to staff, as well as our current geoscience students. We look forward to meeting you!
