The geological research project is an individual research project. It is taken by students on a joint geology program, and exceptionally by geology-students. Multidisciplinarity and cross disciplinarity are encouraged so that students can play to their strengths and interests, but the project is assessed on geological merit.

This course is an independent laboratory based investigation with no specific syllabus of lecture or practical classes. The course requires students to integrate previous knowledge and skills gained during geological course-work in to a coherent self-learning package chosen to satisfy the interests of individual students. In essence, it is the culmination of the degree course allowing the student to carry out self-directed research.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st Attempt: 1) SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION: Outline of the intended project.(10%) 2) WRITTEN REPORT: (80%) in the form of a "Short" to the Journal of the Geological Society of London. 3) SEMINAR: Peer assessed (cross subject) and by a panel of staff members. (10%)
The application and outline must be submitted prior to commencing project work. Feedback is given on the practicailities and structure of the programme of work. The student must keep an accurate laboratory notebook documenting the time spent and outcomes of their investigations.
