BSc (Hons) International Field Geosciences
The International Field Geoscience degree is a geology degree with a significant emphasis on field-based learning in an international environment.
Students who undertake this course will spend their third academic year at the University of Montana, where they will take a number of field-orientated courses set in the Rocky Mountains and western United States.
By taking this course you will learn something of the processes that have formed this planet over 4,500 million years, and which allow humans and life as we know it to exist on Earth. The course has a strong focus on field skills, and this, coupled with the international component, makes our graduates highly employable.
Key facts
- The International Field Geosciences (IFG) is a joint Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree with University of Montana
- The degree focuses on documentation, interpretation and synthesis of critical geological issues in the field
- IFG curriculum is identical to the BSc Geology except for year 3 which is spent studying at the University of Montana
Placement or Study Abroad Information
Year 3 of the course is spent in approved courses of study at the University of Montana. In year 4, you take approved geoscience modules to the value of 20 credits at the University of Potsdam.
