Geology is a universal discipline which is studied all over the globe; as such you can travel to most countries to earn a geology degree abroad, without worrying too much about how the academic content will be skewed depending on your destination (a marked difference between the hard sciences and the social sciences).

To begin, English-speaking countries such as Australia and the United States not only offer some of the best universities in the world where you can earn a degree abroad in geology, but are also a few of the largest countries with the most diverse landscapes on the planet as well. It’s hard to argue against the attractiveness of these destinations.

On the other hand, travelling beyond the English-speaking world can be a hugely rewarding experience too, as it will challenge you to adapt to an entirely new language and culture during your studies. In this vein, countries ranging all the way from Germany to China can also be very attractive destinations for a geology degree abroad, in that they afford students a top-notch education amid tremendous geographical diversity as well.

As a disclaimer, if you do intend to earn your geology degree abroad outside of the English-speaking world, than most schools will expect you to be adept in the national language at the time of enrollment. Many will require you to pass a language proficiency exam to gain admittance.
