What are lessons like in this subject?
n Geology, we examine specimens to study the natural formations found in the field. Our practical endorsement component, is a great way to get ‘hands on’ and learn more in the processes. There are a
minimum of 20 practical activities to develop geological scientific skills over the two year course, some of which are completed in the field in places such as Ingleton in the Yorkshire Dales.
