Overview
Description
Graduates of the Environmental Geosciences BSc programme offered by Durham University go on to work for companies working in a range of relevant areas including environmental management, water management, energy, mining and geotechnics.
The course is mainly delivered through a mixture of lectures, practical classes, tutorials and fieldwork. Typically lectures provide you with key information on a particular area, and identify the main areas for discussion and debate. Practical classes and fieldwork allow you to gain direct experience of practical and interpretative skills in Environmental Geoscience. Tutorials then provide the opportunity for smaller groups to discuss and debate particular issues or areas, based on the knowledge that you have gained through your lectures and independent study outside the formal contact hours.
The balance of these types of activities changes over the degree, as you develop your knowledge and your ability as an independent learner. This is one of the key attributes that you develop (thereby preparing you for work or further study once you have completed the course).
Throughout the course, you will have access to an academic tutor who will provide you with academic support and guidance. Typically you will meet with your tutor six times a year, in addition to which all members of teaching staff have an open door policy and are available to meet with you on a ‘drop-in’ basis. The Department also has an exciting programme of weekly one-hour research seminars which you are strongly encouraged to attend, there is also a seminar programme run throughout the year by the student-led Arthur Holmes Society.
