GEOLOGY WITH INTEGRATED MASTER'S - MGEOL at Keele University

This course adds an additional master’s level year to our three-year Single Honours Geology degree programme, during which there is a strong emphasis on developing the vocational and research skills you will need to work in industry or advance in academia. You will have the opportunity to develop your breadth and depth of knowledge, as well as extending your research and data handling skills.

The focus of the final year is a major research project on a topic of your choice. The master’s level field course simulates a real world geological industry scenario to help develop your employability skills.

The course aims to develop your transferable skills, including communication, decision-making and problem-solving skills, and the ability to research, evaluate and synthesise information from diverse sources. This may also include subject specific-skills like the ability to manipulate, analyse and present geospatial data using industry standard GIS and drawing software. You might choose to work in geological, geophysical or environmental consultancy, in construction, mining, in the energy sector, planning or insurance.
