Faculty of Science and Technology
Bachelor of Science with Honours (Geology)
PROGRAMME SUMMARY
Geology is a study of the Earth, including its composition, and the processes by which they change over time. The field draws on a combination of descriptive and philosophical sciences, mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. By studying geology, you master the tools needed to understand the dynamic of Earth system (earthquake, volcanic activity, landslide, tsunami, and other geohazards), and to explore Earth resources (groundwater, metallic and industrial minerals, petroleum and natural gas, and other Earth resources) for the human quality of life improvement. Studying geology provides a focus on the compositions, characteristics and origin of minerals, rocks and fossils, understanding the Earth evolution, and mapping skills. In Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, you can complete a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Geology.
