About this program
The University of Western Australia's Master of Energy Geoscience degree. This course will enable you to develop skills in geological and geophysical data analysis and integration of datasets related to sedimentary basin analysis and energy geoscience. Emphasis is placed on the development of practical skills underpinned by conceptual knowledge, and the application of both to solving problems related to basin history and petroleum exploration through coursework and research project components of the course. The development of practical skills is underpinned by conceptual knowledge, with emphasis placed on the application of solving problems related to basin history and petroleum exploration through coursework and a research project. You'll have the opportunity to access industry datasets and tools and use latest digital technology to develop advanced skills in the analysis of geoscientific data, as well as guest lectures by industry professionals. This course focuses on the knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems in the field of energy geoscience.
