Overview

Throughout this Geology (Environmental Geoscience) (Hons) course from Keele University you will acquire specialist hands-on experience through field and laboratory work, as well as industry work placement opportunities.

Your geology studies will include exploring Earth’s origins, the evolution of life, and the exploration, extraction, and management of its natural resources. As an interdisciplinary subject, it draws on geography, environmental science, chemistry, biology, and physics. You will develop an understanding of Earth’s and other planets' structures and explore the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring deep beneath our feet.

This environmental geoscience pathway will deepen your scientific understanding of key topics, including how humans affect our planet and biosphere: from climate change to biodiversity loss, the sustainable use of resources, and the practical skills needed for robust sample collection and processing.

Career opportunities:

Geoscientists play a crucial role in tackling global challenges and supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) and the Paris Agreement. Geology graduates are in high demand for their sub-surface knowledge and geoscientific skills, essential for addressing these goals and climate agreements.

Upon graduating, you will possess a strong set of transferable skills applicable to various sectors, including energy, environmental, engineering, education, and consultancy. To become a professional geologist, you will need to gain professional experience after earning your degree and then apply for Chartered Geologist (CGeol) status. Your accredited degree can give you a head start by reducing the required years of experience for chartered status.
