Master of Energy Geoscience
Course Overview
This two-year full-time (or part-time) master’s program focuses on advanced geological and geophysical analysis for exploring sedimentary basins and energy resources. Core units include near-surface and environmental geophysics, tectonic systems, petroleum systems and subsurface characterisation, basin analysis, advanced energy geoscience for low-carbon futures, structural analysis, sedimentary basin field excursions, and science ethics and communication.
Depending on your focus, you’ll either complete a multi-part research project or choose from additional coursework options such as climate-energy economics, GIS, remote sensing, environmental modelling, fossil-to-future transitions, climate geoscience, critical minerals, marine geoscience, and an industry internship.
What You'll Learn
Deep technical knowledge to integrate geological and geophysical data for basin and resource analysis.
Strong applied research skills through an individual capstone or comprehensive research project.
Practical, industry-ready skills through field trips, real datasets, and internship opportunities.
Access to state-of-the-art facilities and the Centre for Energy Geoscience.
A versatile skillset for careers in petroleum, mining, groundwater, environmental consulting, or government agencies.
