Upstream excellence
Petroleum geoscience is about understanding our earth and the processes that shape it. Geoscientists are explorers, problem solvers and innovators. They recover resources and meet energy demands in economical, safe and sustainable ways.
The Australian School of Petroleum and Energy Resources is a world-class centre for petroleum education, training and research. We have strong links to industry with fully integrated teaching and research programs.
What will you do
Our Master of Science (Petroleum Geoscience) is a one-year intensive degree. You will:
work with internationally experienced staff and senior industry personnel
access industry-standard techniques, software and datasets
study exploration and development geoscience in depth
build hands-on skills and practical knowledge
undertake an advanced research project.
Where could it take you
You might pursue careers in mineral or petroleum exploration with multinational and local companies. You could be a geologist, a geophysicist or an oil and gas analyst. Perhaps you’ll work in consulting or as a natural resource manager in a government agency.
