What will I learn?

Students who select the Bachelor of Science in Geosciences with a Geophysics emphasis take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the planet. A Geosciences degree provides students with an understanding of fundamental concepts in geosciences including the basic structure of the Earth, major events in the evolution of life on Earth, plate tectonics, formation and importance of Earth materials and natural resources, processes that shape and change our planet, and linkages between humans and our physical environment. Students will develop an understanding of Earth's interior and its connection to surface processes, including geodynamics, seismology, tectonics, geomagnetism, and volcanism, and apply quantitative skills to describe and model various Earth systems.
