Undergraduate Geoscience 2020-2021

The aim of this course is to develop critical thinking, presentation and project design skills for research together with an enhancement of the necessary skills in numeracy, data manipulation and data interpretation. The course involves substantial workshop-based and student-led practical work designed to provide direct experience of these key components. Students will be introduced to the practical and theoretical aspects of various analytical techniques that are available in the School of Geosciences.

This course provides an opportunity to develop further an aspect or aspects of findings identified in the Geoscience Project A, or to produce a piece of independent and original research on an approved topic.  Advanced level knowledge of a sub-area of the geosciences will be developed through independent study supervised by a member of academic staff.
