BA/BS in Geology at Brandon University in Brandon, Canada is a bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences & Geology programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,770 per year (CAD 6,171 per year for local students).
The Geology program at Brandon University draws on chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and geography to train well-rounded geoscientists, and provides the academic requirements toward becoming a registered Professional Geoscientist. Delivered over four years at the John R. Brodie Science Centre in Brandon, Manitoba, the program combines classroom instruction with active research participation, giving students opportunities to take part in national and international research projects not typically available to undergraduates at larger institutions. A co-op work-experience component, developed with industry and government partners, lets students gain paid work terms alongside their studies, and a field school component builds practical mapping and sampling skills. Laboratory facilities include a scanning electron microscope with analytical capabilities. Coursework spans topics such as physical and historical geology, earth's energy and mineral resources, environmental geology, and mineral deposits. The program suits students interested in earth sciences and fieldwork, and prepares graduates for careers in critical minerals exploration, environmental geology, the mining and petroleum industries, government geological surveys, teaching, research, and professional consulting.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Brandon University: for Fall (September) 2027 entry the deadline is August 15, 2027, and for Winter (January) 2027 entry it is December 1, 2026. International applicants must apply earlier: April 1, 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, and August 1, 2027 for the next open Winter window (Winter 2028 entry), since the Winter 2027 international deadline of August 1, 2026 has already passed. Applications for the new academic year open October 1 each year. A late application for one term is automatically carried to the following term rather than rejected, but Brandon does not otherwise describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
