Introduction This unique programme is designed to expose students to the theory and practice of modern geophysics, with an emphasis on cutting edge techniques for understanding the structure, dynamics and composition of the Earth from the near surface to the deep interior. The content is broad-based and integrative with a strong focus on the quantitative aspects of geophysical data analysis and interpretation. This programme is delivered by our School of Geosciences and equips students with the skills for careers in the hydrocarbon, minerals exploration or associated service industries, or broader geophysics research. Successful completion of this programme will open up opportunities for students with oil and gas operators and mineral exploration companies as well and dedicated geophysics service companies. Opportunities will also exist in areas such as construction engineering and environmental assessment.
