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.
