Course Overview

Geology at Leicester provides a friendly, dynamic, and supportive environment in which to learn about the evolution of our planet from geoscientists at the forefront of their field. Our teaching is led by our research and you will be taught by staff recognized internationally for their expertise in fields such as palaeobiology, economic geology, volcanology, structural geology, geophysics, and palaeoenvironments.

Because all our degrees include common modules in the first year, you can transfer between courses as you discover those aspects of the geosciences which inspire you most and best match your particular interests and career aspirations. We pride ourselves on our excellent staff-student relations and have high student satisfaction levels not least because of our small group teaching and tutorials, which provide individually tailored academic and pastoral support throughout your degree.

Whether you study for the Geology BSc or the MGeol, your degree will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of all the key elements of geoscience. You will learn about the essential theories, practices, and techniques to come out of the discipline and become well prepared for a career as a professional geoscientist.
