Are you interested in studying the processes of how life on Earth began, evolved and diversified? Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty as well as spending time in the lab? Get ready to dig up the past on our BSc (Hons) Palaeontology degree course, which is accredited by The Geological Society of London.

What are life’s origins? How has life evolved over time? How do we know? As a student of paleontology, you will unlock the secrets of plant and animal life and their preservation, and investigate how ancient life forms reflect patterns of environmental and evolutionary change.

Paleontology is the study of the history of life as preserved in the fossil record, examining the patterns and processes of evolution and extinction.

If you want to create solutions to the problems arising from the interaction between man's technological and social activities with the natural environment, then the Earth Sciences major is right for you.
