Details

The BSc in Geological Science at UKZN (Westville) trains students in the study of Earth materials, processes, and history, with particular relevance to South Africa's extraordinarily rich mineral wealth and complex geological heritage. The three-year programme covers mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, and stratigraphy, with field camps in KwaZulu-Natal and surrounding provinces providing practical exposure to diverse rock types. South Africa's world-class mining industry — including platinum, gold, coal, and manganese — is a primary employer for geology graduates.
