          Helping you find a career in the geologist industry

          Geoscience is a broad discipline comprising job titles such as geologist and geochemist. In short, "geoscience" describes any scientific field that takes the Earth and its resources as its object of study. There are lots of specialist roles out there for people with the right analytical mind-set and a natural curiosity about the makeup of our world.

          Geoscience, as a discipline, requires a lot of scientific skills and knowledge. As a result, most roles require employees to have at least an undergraduate degree and many will require postgraduate study.
