UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
You can study exploration geophysics via undergraduate or postgraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Engineering, Physical Sciences and Architecture at the University of Queensland.

The normal route is via the Bachelor of Science (Exploration Geophysics) . Entry requirements are: Senior English; Mathematics B; and two other science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics C, Biology, Earth Science or Information Technology - of which one must be Chemistry or Physics).

You should also have good communication skills, work well in a team environment, be prepared to develop your leadership skills, appreciate the out of doors, and enjoy a challenge.





The Bachelor of Science (Exploration Geophysics) is a 3 year preliminary geophysics degree whose course requirements include a number of specific Level 1 Maths, Physics and Earth Science subjects; Level 2 Maths and Earth Science subjects; and Level 3 Earth Science subjects. For professional employment, a postgraduate qualification is normal. From 2008 this can be achieved via a post-graduate diploma or masters in exploration geophysics.

Options are also available for students transferring from a Bachelor of Engineering, or from a Bachelor of Science with significant components of physics and/or maths.
