This program enables graduates to obtain an advanced knowledge in specialist plans related to the minerals industry. Students gain analytical skills that enable critical assessment of alternative solutions to complex industry problems. Graduates are equipped with an understanding of particular sections of the industry, and focus on investigating and resolving design and operational problems in a safe and efficient manner. The program provides professional postgraduate education in areas that impact directly upon the efficient technical, scientific and commercial management of the minerals industry. Exploration geophysics is the practical application of geophysical methods (such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic) to measure the physical properties of rocks in the Earth's surface. These skills are of vital importance to the exploration industry where these measurements are used to identify and constrain economic deposits of ore, coal and hydrocarbons.
