Listen to Earth’s story – from molten origins to the cradle of modern life. Discover how our planet works, from the core to the clouds. You’ll study topics in earth science, such as volcanoes, mountain building, and our planet’s changing surface environment. Explore processes that link its diverse systems and decipher clues to its extraordinary history.

Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the multiple sciences related to the planet Earth. The B.A. degree in Geology with a major in Earth Science is designed to integrate all the Earth sciences in a systems approach to understanding the Earth. This includes incorporating and integrating subjects such as oceanography, meteorology and astronomy. The emphasis is on the preparation of individuals to work in a wide range of professional public sector service careers where preparation in Earth science and communication of science to non-scientific audiences is a requirement or an asset. This includes the preparation of Earth science teachers.

This focused, three-year programme leads to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree that specialises in Geological Sciences. Geology is a multi-disciplinary science, which studies the physical and chemical aspects of the Earth – its surface processes, composition, structure and origin.

The UniLaSalle Higher Professional Technician diploma in Geology prepares the entry into the industry of technicians and supervisors recognized and appreciated by the professional world in the field of Earth and Environmental Sciences.

The bachelors in Applied Geology study program is a technically focused geological field that includes all areas of geological research and exploration activities. Professional education is focused on the education of an operational geologist, for whom the scientific and technical basis will enable rapid professional adaptability to related and interdisciplinary fields.

Become a geologist! Manage the territory and resources, broaden your horizons on the global processes of the Earth System. Understand and participate in the resolution of issues related to hydro-geological disruptions, global changes, the human footprint on the environment. Register for graduate courses in Geological Sciences! You will embark on a path that will combine specific skills with engaging practical experiences, also in other countries, with international mobility plans. Lay solid foundations for your training by participating in national and international research projects, even in remote areas such as Antarctica, Africa and South America.

At Binghamton University the earth sciences program prepares students to understand and solve some of the most important problems on Earth. How will we provide for our future energy needs? What are the causes and effects of global warming? How do we clean up past and present instances of environmental pollution? What causes natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods, and how can we survive them? How can organisms survive under extreme conditions? Is there life on other planets?

The primary purpose of the BSc Honours qualification is to consolidate and deepen the students’ knowledge and expertise in Geology and to develop research capacity in its methodology and techniques of it. BSc Honours is essentially a coursework degree of which at least 25% (30) of the credits are devoted to a research project and reporting under supervision.

Geology is the study of the structure, evolution, and history of Earth and its mineral and energy resources. Geology students at South Dakota Mines take advantage of the rich geological and paleontological resources of the region.

Studying the Earth and its processes. Students receive a broad background in the Earth sciences and select one of five specialty concentrations.

The Earth Science major is one of two programs housed in the Department of Earth Science and Geography. The Earth Science degree is a cross-disciplinary program that trains students for careers involving earth system science, which broadly includes the physical science behind the interactions of the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. The Earth Science program also examines the contribution of those systems to natural landscapes and geological hazards, during the modern era and through geological time. Importantly, it also considers the relationship of human populations to these geosystems.

The degree offered at the University of Pretoria is comprehensive. Students are familiarised with the fundamentals of geographic information and technologies, geospatial statistics, informatics (database management, scripting using various languages), introductory ethics and business economics, geography and environmental science, geodesy, remote sensing and cartography.

Otago's unique Applied Science degrees link the excitement of science and the power of technology with the challenges of business. Applied Science programs help graduates to become innovative thinkers with an entrepreneurial spirit, the very attributes successful New Zealanders are well-known for. As a graduate you'll be in better control of your career, able to contribute to the success of any organisation. And if innovation attracts you, an Applied Science degree combined with work experience will provide the right background if you decide to start your own business.

This program is designed for students who intend to become professional geologists and/or those who plan to attend graduate school in geosciences.

This degree attracts students who are curious about geologic hazards, the evolution of the Earth, and what lies beneath the landscape. The program incorporates field-work, laboratory experience, and specialized computer programs that help unveil the secrets of the Earth’s infrastructure.
