About this course

Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Engineering Geoscience, an earth and environmental sciences degree focused on earth systems, geological processes and environmental management. Core topics include Data Analysis, Research Methods, and Project Management. The course includes residential fieldwork and practical training in research techniques across multiple locations. The first year introduces foundational concepts through modules such as Applied GIS and Data Science, Building the Earth: from Minerals to Mountains, Connected Earth: Environmental Systems and Change, and Earth Science Field and Research Skills. The second year advances into specialized study with compulsory and optional elements covering Earth Resources, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability, Engineering Geology and Geomorphology, Field Skills and Research Project Planning, and Structural Geology and Geophysics.
