'Studying BSc Geology at the University of Birmingham gave me the experience and knowledge to be able to work in the field independently'

Studying BSc Geology at the University of Birmingham gave me the experience and knowledge to be able to work in the field independently, making my own observations and interpretations of rocks and structures.
The course led me straight to employment in mining geology, where I now work as an exploration geologist with Matsa Resources within the Goldfields of Western Australia and the Frazer-Albany Province. I carry out duties such as geological mapping, geochemical sampling, drill planning, core logging and interpretation of geological data.
