Bachelor of Science [B.S] [International Field Geosciences] From University College Cork

The degree rests upon a backbone of existing modules that are the foundation of current geology courses at three partner institutions (UCC, the University of Potsdam, in Germany, and the University of Montana), complemented by an emphasis on the development of field-based learning in an intercultural setting. The core curriculum is identical to that required for the existing BSc Geology at UCC. Upon successful completion of Year 1Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences examinations, students will apply to undertake the BSc in International Field Geosciences.

You will attend lectures and practicals and participate in field trips.

Assessment

Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including essays, assessed practical exercises, field reports, multiple-choice questionnaires, assessed presentations and project work. The range of assessments provides a broad skills-base of relevance to future employment.

Examination of the approved modules taken at the Universities of Potsdam and Montana are undertaken at the host institutions.
