Geology is the study of the Earth’s interior and the science associated with the way the Earth formed and its structure. Where Geographers might be interested in the impact of an event, Geologists are interested in why it happened within the Earth. Geology students complete a range of practical work as well as fieldwork; this makes Geology an interesting and broad skilled subject to study. At Worcester Sixth Form College, we follow the OCR A Level in Geology and this involves the study of seven teaching modules including Global Tectonics, Geohazards, Interpreting the Past and Economic Geology. Throughout all of these topics, you would have the opportunity to complete practical work. As a science subject, students are required to develop a range of geological techniques and skills for their practical endorsement. This is a separate qualification students complete which is now often a requirement for some laboratory-based university courses.
