The Open University Geological Society is open to everyone interested in geology, earth and environmental science.

OUGS supports the study of geology and other earth sciences, planetary sciences and environmental studies by providing opportunities for members to learn through field trips, talks, conferences and workshops led by experts in their fields.

OUGS operates from thirteen Branches throughout the UK and Europe. Branches are managed locally to provide a focus for members in a given area; however, all OUGS members are always welcome to join events organised by any other Branch. 

How to join:

Head to the Welcome Week conversation on OU Student Connect, where all event links will be posted on Friday 26 September (the day before Welcome Week begins).

This ensures that only OU students can access Welcome Week events. You don't need to create an account; you will be redirected to your OU login page and can join OU Students Connect that way.

Please read our Code of Conduct before joining this session and keep this in mind when taking part.
