Geology

About this course

Geology is the science of the Earth, encompassing the formation and composition of rocks and minerals, the processes that shape landscapes and ocean floors, the history of life recorded in the fossil record, and the resources and hazards that the geological record determines. It is a discipline that requires both careful observation in the field and sophisticated laboratory analysis, and it is one of the few sciences in which you routinely work at geological timescales of millions or billions of years. Geology is also a profoundly practical science, underpinning the discovery and management of mineral resources, the assessment of natural hazards, and the understanding of environmental change. At Royal Holloway, University of London you will study across three years on a full-time programme, with a sandwich year for professional experience, a year abroad for international geological stud
