I chose Geology because during travels across the world I became intrigued and fascinated by famous landscapes and geological features. The welcome Earth Sciences gave me, with its friendly and supportive staff, and the excellent reputation of the University of Birmingham, were two of the reasons I came here.

I've enjoyed the fieldwork the most, which has included interesting trips to Scotland and Spain. I've developed a range of skills during my time here such as team work and geological mapping, and enhanced both my analytical and communication skills.
