Field Courses
Fieldwork is a vital part of an Earth scientist’s training. Our field courses are designed to provide a wide range of practical exercises and field experience in geology and geophysics: observing, measuring, recording, mapping, and problem-solving. Students complete up to 90 days of field training throughout the course, including their 4-6 week independent mapping project in the summer after 2nd year. For many, the individual mapping is the highlight of their undergraduate career.
FINDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING
Fieldwork is a core part of the course, and as such, students do not pay for field courses organised by the department. However, to do justice to your 3rd year mapping project, and some 4th year projects, you may require additional financial support. The following sites and organization's may be of use, though please note the department is not responsible for the content of these sites, nor any eventual outcomes.
