This Palaeontology and Geology MSci program offers comprehensive training in paleontological studies, allowing you to analyze fossil evidence to explore the development and variety of prehistoric life forms, ranging from massive dinosaurs to microscopic organisms.
You'll learn from faculty members belonging to one of the UK's most prominent paleontology research teams. Our emphasis on research-driven education creates exceptional opportunities for you to conduct innovative independent research. The extensive fossil collections at our Lapworth Museum of Geology serve as an invaluable resource that enhances both our instructional and investigative work.
The program equips you with essential skills for professional roles in paleontology, whether in academic research and teaching, museum curation, or applied paleontology/biostratigraphy within the petroleum sector. Your fundamental geological education also opens doors to potential careers in geoscience, should you choose to pursue that direction.
