Bachelor of Science (Mineral Geoscience)

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00123M

Mineral geoscience is all about Earths mineral resources their nature, origin, distribution, discovery and uses. Geoscientists explore for metallic and non-metallic deposits and find environmentally safe ways to dispose of waste materials from mining. The University of Adelaide is ranked in the top 75-100 in the world for Earth Sciences . Our Bachelor of Science (Mineral Geoscience) prepares you for an interesting, well-paid and diverse career in the minerals and energy sector. You will: get hands-on with plenty of field work and exposure to industry in this high-demand field. learn about mining, engineering and mineral resources, and environmental aspects of mine remediation. explore Earths mineral resources - their nature, origin, distribution, discovery and uses. see rocks in their natural habitat, study the oceans and learn how to read history from the Earth. take integrated and extended geology, tectonics and geophysics courses.

Structure

• At level 1, students receive a foundation in sciences such as geology and maths or statistics, with a choice of additional courses in chemistry, physics and science electives. Studies at level 2 further develop this foundation by providing more in-depth study in the area of geology..
