Welcome to Geology
Welcome to the Geology department. Geology is offered to all students at AS and A levels. Although it is not offered as an examination subject prior to Year 13, all students will have covered geological topics in Key Stage 3 and GCSE Geography. Geology is a broadly based science subject covering a range of topics such as volcanoes, earthquakes, plate tectonics, minerals, rocks, fossils, environmental and engineering geology.
The subject has a strong practical input utilising the extensive geological collection held in the department. Fieldwork in a range of spectacular locations throughout
Geology is a subject that can either compliment other sciences or provide a broader A level base for those studying arts and humanities. It offers a pathway to a wide spectrum of university courses and careers. If you are interested in finding out more about the subject additional information is available on the website or I will be pleased to answer any queries that you may have. The Geology room is 39, beside the Sports Hall.
