Students at the Department of Geosciences are looked after by the important work that the Geosciences subject committee does.
The subject committee is the students' welfare body that connects the students with the department. The subject committee has representatives on the department council and the program board and represents the students' cause in these committees.

They hold GEOrakel, in odd-numbered weeks, in the basic GEO subjects. Here you can have a waffle while you work.

The subject committee also organizes the master's students' reading room places and arranges academic and social meeting evenings during the semester, and makes order lists for the "Room-B-Porphyr" kitchen.

The subject committee elects representatives shortly after New Year's each year. Invitations to the meeting are sent out by email and on social media in advance of the meeting.

Mjøllnir is the line association for Geo Science students at the Department of Earth Science, at UiB.
Mjøllnir is run on a volunteer basis by and for students, and works continuously to create as good a social and professional geoscience environment as possible at the University of Bergen.

Mjøllnir's purpose is to establish a social network across cohorts and fields of study within the various fields of study, and especially within the fields of study at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

All members in Mjøllnir are voted for by the geology students at the Department of Geosciences. An annual meeting is organized once a year (at the start of the autumn semester), where the members of Mjøllnir's board are voted on. At the annual meeting, the roles of each of the individual positions are also presented.

We arrange week-ends, company presentations, Christmas parties, cabin tours, excursions, themed parties and lots of other fun!

Here is the new board:

The seismologist is the geophysics line association at the Department of Geosciences, UiB.
The seismologist is run by and for the students, to provide as good a study environment as possible.

The seismologist often works with the geology students' line association, Mjøllnir, to ensure the best possible cohesion at Geoscience. Several social events are organized during the year, both on the course and next to it. Annual Geolympics are organised, in addition to toast Thursdays, barbecues, various tournaments and other festivities!

iEarth wants to promote a student-focused and innovative learning environment that empowers geoscience students to meet complex societal challenges.
iEarth actively supports students by contributing to and developing their education. This is done by promoting active learning, and fostering collaboration between students and staff on course and curriculum development.
We work for an approach where students can participate, which contributes to a sense of shared ownership, collaboration, lifelong learning and a better education.
The student organization in iEarth (departments at UiB, UiO, UiT and UNIS): a place where students can meet and discuss, initiate and drive the development of the education.
At UiB we have various events such as GEOrakel, Career Day, pub lectures, subject evaluation and other workshops throughout the semester.

Here is the list of members:
