About

The Geology, Quaternary Geology programme from Lund University provides you with cutting-edge expertise that is in demand on the international labour market.

Overview

The Geology, Quaternary Geology programme from Lund University provides you with specialist knowledge in Quaternary geology, i.e. the study of the ice age cycles of the past 2.6 million years, the formations they left behind and the processes that created them, which are in part still ongoing. 

The education covers climate variations, glaciation history and glacial deposits. You will also get detailed insight into changes in plant and animal distributions, oceans, lakes and wetlands during the Quaternary, as well as environmental analysis and dating methods. Four courses, each worth 15 credits, make up the recommended study path:

  • Glacial sedimentology – processes, sediments and landform systems
  • Palaeoecological methods and environmental analysis
  • Global and regional marine geology
  • Quaternary climate and glaciation history
  • Career prospects

    Demand for geological expertise will only increase in the future, to address the major societal challenges we are facing. With a Master’s degree in Geology, you will be well-equipped with both general and specific subject knowledge to tackle advanced tasks in research and qualified professional work. 

    Many of our students get jobs as environmental consultants or specialists within the mining, construction and engineering sectors. Others make a career in Swedish and international authorities, often centred on sustainable management of groundwater and other geological resources. You can also work in municipal planning, water engineering and environmental protection. G

    eological knowledge is in demand all over the world and there are good opportunities to find jobs abroad, for example with water supply in developing countries or in major infrastructure projects.
