The course combines observation, theory, fieldwork, laboratory investigations, and basic sciences to provide a strong foundation for many occupations in or linked to the earth sciences.

Candidates who choose to follow the course should be able to generate, analyze, and detect patterns to summarise data and apply the same to complicated multidimensional real-life global problems in their daily lives.

The course is required for continued study of the areas above and obtaining an M.Sc. in Geology.
