Students who graduate from Geology and Geophysics will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcome |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge in geology and geophysics, within the context of Earth system science. |
| 2 | Exhibit deep knowledge in the principles and concepts relating to Earth’s structure, its internal and external dynamics and evolution. |
| 3 | Integrate principles and concepts of key Earth systems and articulate the interaction between chemical, physical and biological processes that govern the emergence and co-evolution of life on Earth. |
| 4 | Work competently, confidently, ethically and safely in the field or laboratory. |
| 5 | Source, collate, synthesise and critically evaluate information in geology and geophysics from a range of relevant sources. |
| 6 | Communicate concepts and findings in geology and geophysics through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 7 | Integrate geological, geochemical and geophysical methods and approaches with computational resources to model and interpret geological phenomena at a variety of scales in space and time. |
| 8 | Utilise qualitative and quantitative geological, geochemical and geophysical data to construct robust and verifiable models and assess scientific arguments. |
| 9 | Address authentic problems in geology and geosciences, working professionally and responsibly and with consideration of cross-cultural perspectives, within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
