Notes
Required for students taking 45 or more credit points in Geology at Level 2. Fieldwork is a compulsory part of this course. Fieldwork may involve crossing rough terrain, inlcuding steep gradients, rocky areas and along cliffs, and may take place during inclement weather. Any student with concerns about this, who feels adjustments or additional support may be required, should contact the University's Disability Adviser or the Department Disability Co-ordinator as early as possible. The Department is committed to making reasonable adjustments to enable students to achieve the learning outcomes of the degree programme.
