Course Overview

Our modern industrialized and technology-based society depends on geophysicists to find natural resources such as minerals, hydrocarbons, geothermal energy, metals, aggregates, and water, for designing and building foundations, tunnels, cuttings, and other engineering projects, to understand the risks from natural hazards and inform environmental projects such as radioactive waste disposal or carbon dioxide sequestration. You will acquire a wide range of transferable skills, including communication, decision-making and problem-solving skills, and the ability to research, evaluate and synthesize information from diverse sources. You will develop subject-specific skills like the ability to manipulate, analyze and present geophysical data using industry-standard software. You might choose to work in geophysical, geological, or environmental consultancy, in construction, mining, in the energy sector, planning, or insurance.
