Course Description
The MSc Petroleum Geoscience programme is offered jointly by Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh University and Newcastle University. The year-long, full-time programme mainly focuses on petroleum geoscience, but is linked closely
with other MSc programmes and research groups in petroleum engineering and reservoir geology at the host institute, the Institute of Petroleum Engineering.
The main objective of this MSc programme is to provide a thorough training in aspects of subsurface geology, geophysics and geo-engineering, relating to the exploration, appraisal and development of subsurface resources.
Although the programme concentrates on exploration for hydrocarbon resources, and delineation of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the subsurface, the skills learned in this subject are applicable to all subsurface geoscience areas, including groundwater exploration, waste disposal or CO2 sequestration.
