Course overview

The Bachelor of Earth Sciences is ideal for students who are curious about the complex system that comprises the Earth, its oceans and atmosphere, and the place of Earth in the solar system and beyond. Earth scientists have a key role to play in understanding environmental challenges and sustainability of resources in a changing world. To do this, they focus on deciphering the processes that have shaped our planet from its origin, to its changes through time recorded by rocks and fossils, through to modern-day processes. This diversity creates many exciting opportunities for scientific discovery and professional careers.
