The Bachelor of Science in Geology (Extended Programme) at the University of Pretoria is a four-year degree that includes a foundation year providing academic support before students join the mainstream three-year Geology programme. The programme builds the mathematical, physical science, and academic literacy foundations needed for success in geological study. Career outcomes match the standard BSc Geology, covering mineral exploration, mine geology, environmental geology, and geological research across South Africa's significant mining, environmental, and earth science sectors. The extended programme ensures talented students from under-resourced backgrounds have access to one of South Africa's most strategically important earth sciences.
