Presentación

Our single honours and joint honours (major) Geology courses are accredited by The Geological Society, which means you’ll satisfy the first stage of professional training to become a Chartered Geologist. Derby is close to some of the most outstanding geological sites of the British Isles, making it a prime location to study. We provide our first year students with free basic field equipment, including a compass clinometer, hand lens, hard hat, high-visibility jacket, professional field notebook, and copies of the British Geological Survey geological map of the UK.
Geology is the study of the Earth, what it´s made up of, the processes that are taking place on and within it, and the essential resources it provides. It includes the study of organisms that have lived on our planet and how Earth has evolved with time. During this course you´ll develop the professional skills, theory and practical experience you´ll need for a wide range of careers. You´ll learn through lectures and laboratory-based practical sessions, and receive training in the use of industry standard geological equipment.

Requisitos

Our entry requirements are usually 260 UCAS points, of which at least 220 will be from your core A2s (full A levels) or equivalent qualifications such as BTEC Diploma, International Baccalaureate, Scottish Highers etc.
One of your A Levels (or equivalent) should be in Geology, Chemistry, Geography, Physics or Biology.
We´ll accept up to 40 points towards the total from level 3 qualifications such as AS levels (where those AS levels are not taken on to A2 level), the Extended Project or Music qualifications.
We don´t accept points from Key Skills Level 3. If you have any questions about what is or isn´t accepted, please contact our Admissions team.
We also accept the Access to HE Diploma.
Your points at level 3 will be in addition to 5 GCSEs at grade C or equivalent level 2 qualifications.
The UCAS tariff points are a guide - we´ll also consider all the information that you´ve included in your application. We´ll also want to see that you´re enthusiastic and motivated to take this course and that you have the potential to benefit from coming to university.

Salidas profesionales

There is currently considerable demand for graduate geologists in exploring, producing and managing Earth’s resources. Our graduates have gone on to work in a wide range of industries including petroleum, mineral resources and mining, geotechnical engineering, environmental, water supply, hazard management and science communication. Geology provides a broad-based science degree relevant to employment in many other sectors.
You could develop your geological expertise further by studying for a masters degree such as our MSc Applied Petroleum Geoscience.
