About

The Earth Science degree offered by the University of Bergen takes advantage of Western Norway’s unique environment for different types of field geology, ranging from Quaternary and glacial geology to Precambrian orogenic and magmatic processes.

Overview

Key facts

The overall goal of the Earth Science degree offered by the University of Bergen is to develop new knowledge of the Earth's structure, formation history and the driving forces for its dynamic behaviour.   

Earth scientists’ research attempts to understand topics such as:  

  • the relationship between the planet's interior and surface, now and throughout history  
  • how glaciers behave 
  • Earth's changing climate 
  • responsible use of natural resources from the earth and under the sea 
  • how best to build human infrastructure on an evolving planet 

UiB is close to the North Sea oil fields, which provides excellent opportunities for study in the areas of petroleum and marine research.   

Career  

Earth scientists are needed when building infrastructure like road and rail networks, tunnels and buildings, subsea and on land — in other words, anywhere on the planet where humans can be found. Earth scientists investigate the history of our extraordinary planet in order to understand our present and build for our future.  

At UiB, the Department of Earth Science’s collaboration with the petroleum industry, and its international research programmes, ensures that your education will be relevant and desirable to employers. Employers appreciate earth science graduates for their:  

  • Adaptability 
  • Ability to think creatively and open-mindedly about issues in the world today.  
  • Independence 
  • Conscientiousness 
  • Ability to put their academic training to effective use when solving society’s challenges in the 21st Century.   

Graduates of the programme go on to find work in the petroleum industry, or as consultants in public or private sectors. Some continue to PhDs and careers in research, whether at UiB’s centres of excellence in climate studies and petroleum research, or elsewhere.
