Entry requirements

Knowledge and skill corresponding to Earth Science 60 ECTS credits including Mineralogy and Petrology MN1, 15 ECTS credits or Catchment Hydrology MN1, 15 ECTS credits and Structural Geology and Field Course MN1, 15 ECTS credits alternatively including Sedimentology and Stratigraphy MN1, 15 ECTS credits and Early Evolution and Diversification of Life MN1, 15 ECTS credits alternatively including Quaternary Paleoecology MN1, 15 ECTS credits or Geomorphology MN1, 15 ECTS credits or Glaciology and Glacial Morphology MN1, 15 ECTS credits.

Learning outcomes

After completion of the course the student should be able to

• apply in depth understanding in practical work in Earth Sciences
• demonstrate strengthened basis for professional work in either Bedrock Geology or Historical Geology and Palaeontology or Quaternary Geology or Hydrogeology or Physical Geography.

Content

Geological work at e.g. the SGU (Swedish Geological Survey) or an equivalent employer. The content of the work will be determined on the basis of the specialisation of the the previous studies. The course can be designed to include e.g. field work and sampling as a basis for a future undergraduate thesis.

Instruction

The teaching will be on an individual basis with a mentor. In general the supervision is carried out by an external employer. If the the work is planned to prepare for an undergraduate thesis, there will be an additional supervisor from the department of Earth Sciences.

Assessment

Certificate from the employer and a written course report to the department and the external employer.
