Geologists examine Earth's systems, focusing on natural processes that impact humanity - such as mineral and energy formation, geological hazards, climate shifts, and environmental conservation.
This program provides comprehensive geological theory with hands-on training in mineral, energy, and water resources alongside their sustainable management.
Your initial year builds core knowledge in geology, chemistry, mathematics, scientific communication, and digital skills. The second year develops theoretical understanding and practical abilities for analyzing geological phenomena through lab and field work.
The first two years are completed at Curtin Perth. For your final year, choose between the Applied Geology track at Curtin Perth or Mining Geology specialization at Curtin Kalgoorlie, with customizable unit selections.
Applied Geology: This specialization explores practical geoscience applications, including mineral/energy exploration methods, groundwater management, environmental geoscience, and climate studies.
Mining Geology: This pathway integrates resource geology with mining operations and reserve estimation techniques.
