Geology, BSc (Hons)

Our Geology programme aims to tackle global challenges like climate change and natural disasters by exploring Earth's history, processes, and formations. Students will investigate rock and mineral development, evolutionary changes, seismic events, and the real-world impacts of geology, while building skills in fieldwork, data analysis, and decision-making. Leveraging our South Wales location, the course includes regular field trips and overseas opportunities, such as to Spain and Cyprus, ensuring graduates acquire industry-relevant expertise without requiring prior geology knowledge.Distinctive features include accreditation by the Geological Society for professional recognition, high student satisfaction among Russell Group universities, flexible degree pathways with optional modules, hands-on fieldwork training, instruction from world-leading experts, and access to facilities like the British Geological Survey and National Museum of Wales for enhanced learning and career support.
