Using mapping, technology, and historical data to build conceptual models, you'll explore our planet through theory and field experience.
You will learn how these models can help you estimate where minerals, water and other natural resources are beneath the earth's surface.
They will also teach you how to extract these resources sustainably. You will also gain experience in identifying and mitigating natural hazards.
The degree is highly interactive and teaches you the specialised skills you need to work in this field.
You can choose to specialise in exploration/mine geoscience or environmental geoscience.
Your field skills will be honed at world-renowned Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia sites.
This course at Federation University provides specialist training for those who wish to pursue professional careers in mineral and oil exploration, extractive industries, environmental science, or hydrogeology.
