The vast majority of people interested in a
geological career will study a general 'Single Honours" degree (i.e. one main subject) in geology, geoscience or Earth science. The 'classic" undergraduate geology degree is listed as F600 in the
UCAS directory.
In addition to single honours geology,
some students combine geology with another subject. Some universities provide degree courses in specific sub- disciplines such as engineering geology or geophysics. Finally, the curriculum offered by different universities varies, with some programmes focused on applied (industry-linked) geology, and others based on geological theory and research.
If you plan on a geology career but are
undecided about your particular speciality, it"s a good idea to study a single subject degree or to restrict a joint degree to other related science subjects. This will make it easier to progress to a further degree (MSc, PhD) later if you wish.
Geologists are employed in a wide range of
fields, from research and teaching, to industries focused on natural resources, engineering or the environment. The poster on the reverse shows some of the job sectors you could choose from. A typical working day could be spent outdoors, in the lab or office, or all three:
In the field:Geologists travel all over the
world to investigate rocks in their natural setting, sometimes in challenging conditions.
Mapping or sampling the rocks in an area or
logging the information they record can help locate oil, water or minerals or identify safe locations for engineering projects.
In the lab:Laboratory work often follows on
from fieldwork, and can include studying samples under the microscope, testing their strength, or analysing them for minerals or pollution.
In the office:Geologists use specialist
computer software to map or process data and simulate geological processes, and many are trained in programming. They also write technical reports.
If you are interested in the natural world around
you, are good at investigating and problem solving, are numerate and articulate, have initiative and the ability to work in a team... then the exciting world of geology could be where your career lies.
BSc- An undergraduate Bachelor of
Science degree. This is usually written as
'BSc (Hons)" which means with 'Honours".
Students follow a course of lectures and
practical sessions, and usually undertake an independent research or mapping project at the end of the second year.
MGeol/MSci- These are 4 year
undergraduate or integrated masters degrees. The first two years are usually the same as for a BSc at the same university, but with a wider range of taught units and a longer research element. These courses are good preparation if you anticipate continuing your education with a
PhD/DPhil, but should not be confused
with an applied postgraduate Masters (MSc), which is often required for a career in a geological industry.
MSc- Master of Science", a 1 or 2 year
postgraduate degree providing training in a specific subject area relevant to a careerin industry (such as engineering geology or ore mineralogy). Applying skills learnt at undergraduate level to a particular field is an important first step in continuing professional development (CPD) which will continue throughout your career.
PhD/DPhil- 'Doctor of Philosophy", a
postgraduate degree gained through research in a very specific area, usually taking at least 3 years to complete. These are excellent preparation for a research career in universities, government or research organisations, or more senior roles in industry. Gaining a PhD is determined by the submission of a substantial project (a 'thesis" or 'dissertation"), and an interview with external examiners termed a 'viva".
You will need a good first degree
(generally a 2:1 result or higher) to qualify for MSc and PhD courses. Also known as 'geoscience" or 'Earth science", geology is the study of the structure, evolution and dynamics of the Earth and its natural resources. It investigates the processes that have shaped the Earth through its 4500 million (approximate!) year history and uses the rock record to unravel that history. It is concerned with the real world beyond the laboratory and has direct relevance to the needs of society.
Geology is a huge area of study with many
specialisms, which overlaps with other sciences, maths and engineering. In schools it is often taught within geography or the sciences instead of as a separate subject; at university it is offered as a degree subject by geology, geoscience or Earth science departments.

Explore career pathways at
www.geolsoc.org.uk/careers degree pathways About 40 UK universities offer degree courses in geology. A first or 'undergraduate" degree takes 4 years in Scotland, and 3-4 years elsewhere in th4e UK. The majority of students enrolling for a first degree are school leavers aged 18-194, but departments welcome applications from mature students and those seeking a career cha4nge. There are a number of qualifications to choose from. during your degree : travel opportunities and placements Find out more about choosing and funding your degree at www.geolsoc.org.uk/DegreeChoices /DH:TINMTGIK;T6MTQQQ"B;IFLI9"IKB"NE(-;BK;;26MCQ6SLT school qualifications and applying for university For students starting geoscience degrees after finishing school, e4vidence of basic competence in science is normally required (eg two A/AS level/4Scottish Higher passes in sciences). Preferred subjects are physics, chemistry, biology, geology and maths. Geography is acceptable for some courses; geology is welcomed but 4not essential. While not required for degree entry, studying modern languages may give you an advantage later, due to the career opportunities overseas. You should check precise admissions requirements with the departments that interest you (see the universi4ty websites) along with guidance offered by the University Central Admissions Service (UCAS) at www.ucas.com.
Your careers advisor or sixth form
teacher will advise you on how to apply for a university place via
UCAS. Note that applications
can only be made online, either by individuals or through a school group. There is a deadline of January in the year of intended entry for most subjects, with a clearing system in the summer for last minute or amended applications, dependent on exam results. Explore advice on applications,S work experience and the impoSrtance of science and maths at www.geolsoc.org.uk/GeologyAtSchool Studying geology involves work outdoors 'in the field". Fieldwork is valuable preparation for working life as a geologist; for example, exploration for oil or minerals often involves travel to remote parts of the world, both on land and at sea.
However, the ability to carry out fieldwork
isn"t essential to a geological career - laboratory work and data interpretation is equally important. Meanwhile, access to fieldwork for students of all abilities is constantly improving, particularly with the increasing role of technology.
Some degrees offer the chance to broaden
your experience through a year in industry or a year abroad. Many students undertake work or volunteering placements during their degree, gaining valuable experience and contacts with potential employers.

In general, to become a
professional geologist you need a degree in geology or a related subject. The Geological Society
Accreditation Scheme for first
degrees and Masters courses is an established mark of quality that has been awarded to over 150 courses.
Accredited status shows that a
course provides students with the opportunity to gain the core skills necessary to continue to a career as a professional geologist.
With sufficient professional
experience after gaining your degree, you can apply for Chartered
Geologist (CGeol) status. Holding
an accredited degree or MSc can give you a head-start by decreasing the number of years" experience needed to apply for Chartership

Hydrogeologists specialise in underground water and work in a variety of contexts, from exploration and sustainable management of groundwater resources to contamination and flooding. Many geologists are employed in the petroleum sector, in a huge range of jobs related to the search for and extraction of oil and natural gas. Palaeontology and geophysics are just two of the specialisms. Geologists also work in the nuclear sector, and the growing area of sustainable energy, developing geothermal energy, wind and tidal power.

Engineering geologists use their understanding of
surface and sub-surface geology in engineering projects, from building construction to slope stability, mining, tunnelling or coastal defences. environmental geology and contaminated land Environmental geologists work to address environmental problems affecting water and land, which may have resulted from human activities or natural processes. Many geologists specialise in remediation of contaminated land, often working for engineering consultancies. natural hazards and risk
Geohazards specialists study phenomena such as
earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods and climate change, working to forecast them, improve resilience and minimise damage.
OTHER SECTORS
Geologists may apply their transferable skills, such as numeracy and problem-solving, in a broad range of other sectors, from forensic geology to charities and aid organisations.
