‘We are so lucky in the UK to have a great diversity of rocks and spectacular landscapes on our very own doorstep, and northern England in particular has an abundance of world-famous and classic geological sites. This exciting and unique postgraduate diploma utilises the geological wealth of northern England and explores the main principles of geology through a regional examination of the area. Students on the programme also assess the role of the area’s importance with respect to current controversies in the Earth sciences, from fracking to climate change, whilst also reflecting upon the region's vital role in the history of Geology. We go on to examine human interactions with the region’s rocks and landscapes, from the Palaeolithic to the present day, so all in all a fascinating journey overall!’ - Dr Annette McGrath, Associate Lecturer leading the programme. 

 

The programme is taught online part time, over two years for maximum flexibility of learning, yet it is extremely interactive where you will be part of an active online community. Each Autumn term includes a mandatory five day residential week in York, including practical sessions and field trips as well as the opportunity to meet your fellow students and staff, engage in discussion and share your knowledge of Geology.
