Program Details

Geology - Physics School: University of Ottawa/Université d'Ottawa Faculty: Faculty of Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Geology/Earth Science, General Physics, General Description: Thus, geologists study matter and geological processes in all their diversity, from atoms and crystals to mountain ranges and the dynamics of the entire planet. The scientific methods used are equally diverse (field studies, instruments to probe the Earth's depths, microscope examination of minerals and fossils, elemental and isotopic analysis, experimental study of geochemical systems, and computer simulation of geological processes). Although many program options are offered, students are encouraged to take the B.Sc. Honours with Specialization in Geology or Geology-Physics, which allows them to meet many of the accreditation requirements of professional bodies and practise as geologists or geoscientists. In first year, students increase their knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Later, they complete several geology courses, which consist of lectures, problem-solving assignments, laboratory work and field excursions.
