This Palaeontology and Geology BSc program offers comprehensive training in palaeontology, equipping you to analyze fossil evidence and explore the development and variety of prehistoric life, from massive dinosaurs to microscopic organisms.
You'll learn from faculty members belonging to one of the UK's most prominent palaeobiology research teams. Our emphasis on research-driven education creates opportunities for you to conduct innovative independent studies. The extensive fossil collections at our Lapworth Museum of Geology serve as an exceptional resource that enhances both teaching and research activities.
The program prepares you for professional roles in palaeontology, whether in academic research, education, museum work, or as a biostratigrapher in the petroleum sector. Your fundamental geology training also opens doors to potential careers in geoscience, should you choose to pursue that direction.
