Geoscience is at the
heart of all modern natural resource industries, not only in their
exploration phase, but also in their development and management
practices. This program provides students with a coherent understanding
of the areas of science that relate to the Earth’s petroleum resources
including their nature, origin, distribution, discovery and
exploitation. Students gain the ability to communicate with a diverse
array of people and will have an understanding of the geological and
technological complexity of the petroleum systems with which they are
working.
The first year of this program provides a foundation in sciences such as geology and maths, with a choice of additional courses in chemistry, physics and a science elective. Second year develops this foundation by providing more in-depth study in the areas of Petroleum Engineering and Geology. In third year, students will focus on advanced topics including Petroleum Exploration, Reservoir Characterisation and Modelling and Structural Geology and Seismic Methods. Students will benefit from direct exposure to professionals in the Petroleum Geoscience Industry that will enable them to form mentoring relationships. An additional year of study is available for those wishing to obtain an Honours degree.
