पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This major will integrate knowledge from a range of disciplines from field-based studies to more theoretical aspects of rocks, minerals and their behavior during Earth processes. Geology concerns the solid Earth, in particular the rocks and their constituent minerals and fossils. The geological records of rocks, formed over much of the Earth’s 4500-million-year-old history, are the raw materials of geology. The study and interpretation of the geological record is of paramount importance in the search for natural resources like gold, coal, oil, and groundwater and rock material used for construction work. Students will learn how the planet functions and be equipped to undertake fundamental research into geological processes, such as ore deposit formation and the environment. There is always strong demand for these graduates in the petroleum, mineral and environmental industries. As the need for resources grows, it is likely that this demand will increase, providing geologists with very good job prospects. Graduates are well prepared for further study in the areas of earth systems, geodynamics and petroleum, geodynamics and ore bodies and are well-placed to apply for: professionally focused graduate degrees in the sciences and technology, including biotechnology, environmental systems, informatics, management science, and nanotechnology; graduate degrees preparing for a wide range of professions including engineering, law, medicine and other health sciences and teaching; and masters and honours pathways to research higher degrees in the sciences and technology within the Melbourne Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Melbourne School of Engineering, Melbourne School of Land and Environment, and the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.
