MESci（荣誉）勘探与资源地质

在资源有限的世界上，全球范围内对石油，天然气，金属和建筑材料的需求不断增长。我们的勘探和资源地质学位建立在扎实的地质基础之上，并侧重于对地球自然资源勘探的应用理解。该程序提供导致形成自然资源的过程的知识，无论是碳氢化合物还是含金属矿床。在第二年和第三年之间，它还包括工业布局或应用地质测绘项目。MESci在相当于BSc的基础上，通过第四年的课程提供有关假设检验，批判性分析和问题解决的专业培训，同时了解研究的过程和结果。您将与您所选择的主题领域的成员一起从事您所选择的主题领域的专业研究项目，并在MESci实地
Globally there is an ever-increasing need for oil, gas, metals and construction materials in a world where resources are finite. Our Exploration and Resource Geology degree builds on a solid grounding in geology and focuses on the applied understanding of exploration of the Earth's natural resources. The programme provides knowledge of processes that lead to the formation of a natural resource, be it a hydrocarbon or a metalliferous deposit. Between years two and three it also includes either an industrial placement or an applied geological mapping project. The MESci builds upon the equivalent BSc course by means of a fourth year that provides specialist training in hypothesis testing, critical analysis and problem solving, whilst learning about the process and outcomes of research. You will undertake a specialist research project in a subject area of your choice, working with a member of staff in their area of expertise, and undertake research in the field during the MESci field course. It is designed for highly qualified candidates who might aim to pursue a research career in academia, government or industry. Because they are trained in specialist fieldwork and the IT skills needed by a professional exploration geologist, our graduates are in great demand in the mineral and hydrocarbon exploration industry.<br><br>Career prospects - Based on responses from the 2016-17 Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey 90% of Earth science graduates were in employment or engaged in further study within six months of graduation, with others taking time out to travel. Employers included local government and companies and organisations such as Gemcom Software, SRK Exploration, Kuwait Oil Company and Anglo American. Typical career destinations for graduates in Exploration Geology include engineering geologist, geological consultant, exploration geologist, field geologist, mineralogist, mineral exploration, geological consultant, field mapping, oil geologist, mining software analyst, geophysical surveying and the water industry.
