What do you study in Earth Sciences / Geology?

Geology and Earth Sciences invite you to unravel the planet's secrets: from how mountains formed and why earthquakes occur to the millions of years of history written in rocks. It is a discipline where the whole world is your laboratory.

  • Analysis of minerals, rocks and fossils to reconstruct the history of the Earth
  • Study of volcanoes, earthquakes and other active geological processes
  • Mapping and modelling the land with digital tools (GIS, remote sensing)
  • Natural hazard assessment and environmental management
  • Exploration of water, energy and mineral resources
  • Climate change and the evidence it has left in the geological record

This path can lead to careers in environmental consultancy, energy companies, public bodies, land management or scientific research.
