BSc (Hons) Geography & Geology

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

Explore Earth’s history, from its origins to current physical and environmental issues, and respond to them. Our BSc Geography & Geology course places practical field and laboratory work at its core. You’ll learn the fundamental techniques of physical geography and geology, becoming familiar with geographical information systems (GIS), digital cartography, and graphical software packages.

Your learning is underpinned by the study of the geological features of rivers, oceans, and volcanoes, as they are now and as they were in the past. Our fieldwork destinations across Europe will teach you about the natural world – destinations have included Cumbria, Edinburgh, Tenerife, and the Scottish Highlands. You can also tailor your degree to your interests, with the opportunity to select subject-specific and complementary modules.

After three years of study, you’ll have honed many transferable skills useful for working in public and private sector organizations. You might consider roles in conservation, geological exploration, environmental management, or environmental education. To help you plan for life after Edge Hill, our tailored careers and employability activities can help you identify and make your next move.
