COURSE OVERVIEW
Are you interested in geology and environmental issues? Are you concerned about the natural environment of our planet? Perhaps you work, or want to work, in the environmental or civil engineering industries. This course allows you to combine your studies and consider issues such as pollution, water resources, planning and waste disposal. As well as attending the course at Birkbeck in central London, you can also study by distance learning via our online learning environment, so you can access course materials and recordings of lectures wherever you are in the world – and whenever it suits you.
We are one of the few departments that meets the Geological Society’s recommendation of a minimum of 100 days of fieldwork in a BSc programme. This is a commitment that many full-time courses do not match and, at present, we are the only part-time geology programme that does.
Each year, students attend a major residential field course of 10-14 days. They also attend numerous one-day and weekend field trips and are encouraged to undertake a substantial amount of independent field research.
Field courses are designed to complement the lecture programme and laboratory-based practical classes. In the field, you have the opportunity to cement your theoretical understanding of geology with practical experience. At the same time, you develop the skills you need to pursue independent research. We regularly update our field itineraries to keep up with changes in our curriculum. Currently, we take students to the Isle of Skye (Year 1), North-West Scotland (Year 2), and Cyprus and Spain (Years 3 and 4).
HIGHLIGHTS
- Our Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences has been offering evening study courses for over 70 years.
- You will learn in an environment of active research and be taught by lecturers who are working at the forefront of their specialisms.
- Our teaching is informed by considerable research into environmental issues, which is ongoing in the Department. Current research focuses on areas such as metal pollution, coastal erosion, mineralogy, earthquake prediction and palaeontology.
- We retain close links with UCL’s Department of Earth Sciences, sharing expertise, facilities and events across the two institutions, including live streaming of lectures and digital lecture notes. In our joint submission with UCL, Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences at Birkbeck were rated sixth in the UK in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF).
- We are part of the joint UCL-Birkbeck Institute of Earth and Planetary Sciences (IEPS).
- We offer residential field trips to sites in Greece, Morocco, Scotland, Spain and Wales.
