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.
