Undergraduate Pathways

 

Environmental Geology - Bachelor of Science

Coherency for students wishing to obtain professional qualifications in Environmental Geoscience. A strong interdisciplinary flavour is generated with units selected from units in Earth and Planetary Sciences and Physical Geography. Many students go on to a fourth year to complete an honours degree.


Geochemistry - Bachelor of Science

This is a coherency for students who wish to specialise in geochemistry. The coherency is run in conjunction with the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences.


Geology - Bachelor of Science

Coherency for students wishing to obtain professional qualifications in geology with many students going on to a fourth year to complete an Honours degree. Flexibility within the program allows for specialisation in different aspects of geology (eg. volcanism, palaeontology, tectonics, ore deposits). This program is designed for any student seeking a career in geology whether it be in a teaching, research, exploration, mining or environmental field.


Geology and Geophysics - Bachelor of Science

A coherency providing professional qualifications in both geophysics and geology. In all fields of earth and planetary sciences, geology and geophysics techniques are commonly applied in concert; professionals with expertise in both fields are important members of most teams of geoscientists. This major is appropriate for those seeking a career in geoscience, especially in the environmental and exploration industries.


Geophysics - Bachelor of Science

Coherency providing professional qualifications in geophysics with many students going onto a fourth year to complete an honours degree. Geophysicists aid employment in any field where it is important to locate objects hidden beneath the surface. Most find employment in the mineral and fossil fuel exploration industries or in the field of environmental sciences.
