B.Sc. (Geology)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Sc. Geology or Bachelor of Science in Geology is an undergraduate Geology course. Geology is the science that comprises the study of the solid Earth and the processes by which it is shaped and changed. Geology provides primary evidence for plate tectonics, the history of life and evolution, and past climates. In modern times, geology is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and for evaluating water resources; is publicly important for the prediction and understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change; plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering; and is a major academic discipline. The duration of B.Sc. (Geology) course is of three years.
