Master of Science in Geosciences

The proposed Master of Science in Geosciences is a coursework-plus-thesis based degree providing postgraduate education in advanced topics in a broad range of Geoscience disciplines. The outcomes of this degree encompass both progression towards PhD in Geosciences (available at the UAEU) and more specialized education for employment in a range of private and public enterprises, particularly resource industries and environmental authorities. Thus, the program is oriented towards the following goals: 1) academic (students preferring to progress to Ph.D. degree), 2) private professional (students intending to seek employment in private industries and consultancies), 3) public service (students intending to follow careers in government ministries, municipalities and other public service authorities), 4) education (secondary school student teachers who are intending to specialize in geology).
