The course is academically challenging and designed with your future employment in mind. The combination of broad-based training and specialist studies will give you the professional skills you'll need as well as the theoretical and practical expertise to go into a wide range of career.
The petroleum and mining industries have traditionally been major employers, but now geotechnical and environmental aspects are becoming increasingly important. As a Derby graduate you'll be well placed to respond to such changes and to enter into a career in resources exploration and exploitation, engineering or extractive geology, environmental consultancy or monitoring, pollution control, waste management or water supply.
Your self-reliance, communicative and transferable skills will also mean you're well suited for non-vocational employment where environmental awareness or broad scientific expertise may be of special value.
So you're interested in doing Geology or a Geology-related degree - why not find out what some of our former students are up to now?
