Course Overview

There is a need for well-trained structural geologists, with geophysical skills and training, within both the hydrocarbons and minerals industries and also within sectors such as geothermal and hydrothermal energy and carbon sequestration. You’ll graduate with an extensive skill set that’s transferable across almost every industry worldwide, meaning you’ll be highly sought after by many employers.

Not only is a Master's an excellent level for entering into the resource exploration industry, but this course is targeted directly for recruitment.

General Eligibility

A bachelor's degree with a 2:1 (hons) or above in a geological, geophysical, environmental geology, mining or related subject. Mathematics to A-level is also preferred, although the GSCE level is accepted.
