Learning and Teaching
Geology at Keele is taught in a variety of different ways. Teaching
throughout the course includes lectures, practical classes,
workshops, field courses and independent project work.
Geology is a very practical and field
oriented subject and the immersive
fieldwork experience is typically where
everything comes together and helps
you develop a deep understanding of
the subject. Different styles of teaching
are appropriate for different parts of the
course, and your programme has been
keele.ac.uk/gge
carefully designed to help you to get
the most out of it. Our teaching and our
course structures are regularly checked
and approved by external auditors, as
well as by our own students.
Geology at Keele has a reputation for
innovative teaching methods and a
commitment to professional standards.
We have on several occasions won
Keele’s award for excellence in teaching,
both as individual members of staff
and as a teaching team. Several of our
teaching staff are Fellows of the Higher
Education Academy and many of us have
published our research into teaching and
learning in Earth Sciences.
