Geology

About this course

Geology is the study of the Earth, its materials, structures, processes, and history, over a timescale of billions of years. It encompasses the formation and transformation of rocks and minerals, the dynamics of the tectonic plates that shape the planet's surface, the processes of erosion, deposition, and diagenesis that produce the sedimentary record, the history of life as recorded in fossils, and the behaviour of the Earth's internal heat engine. Geology is both a fundamentally scientific discipline, requiring rigorous training in chemistry, physics, and biology as well as in its own specialist methods, and a field science in which direct observation of rocks and landscapes is essential. At the University of Liverpool, you will study geology over three years of full-time study, with the programme including a sandwich year with a work placement, a year abroad, and a work placement.
