The M.Sc. in Applied Geology is a two-year postgraduate programme that focuses on the scientific study of Earth’s materials, structures, and processes, with an emphasis on their practical applications in resource exploration and environmental management. The course blends fieldwork, laboratory training, and theoretical learning to build strong geological and analytical skills.
Students study subjects such as mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geomorphology, and remote sensing, complemented by field mapping, research projects, and industry exposure. The programme prepares students to understand Earth systems and contribute to sustainable resource utilization.
Career opportunities include roles as geologists, hydrogeologists, geotechnical experts, exploration officers, researchers, and consultants in mining, oil and gas, environmental, and academic sectors.
