ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

About the Programme

The Master of Science in Applied Geosciences provides students with theoretical and technical expertise in hydrogeology, petroleum geology, and mineral resources geology.

The hydrogeology specialisation prepares students to design pumping and recharging wells, apply analytical and numerical modelling to groundwater flow, learn  hydrogeological testing methods and their applications, and apply geological field methods to groundwater challenges.

In the petroleum geology specialisation, students learn approaches to seismic modelling, seismic attributes and quantitative interpretation techniques, gain 2D and 3D seismic interpretation experience in a workstation environment, master approaches to field development planning and production for an oil/gas accumulation, assess and manage reserves of an oil/gas field, and to learn principles of basin modelling and the main functionalities of basin modelling software, as well as understand and interpret geochemical information and evaluate geochemical technical reports. Students get also an overview of the major techniques for down-hole logging, their physical basis, with visualization and interpretation of data and results.

The mineral resources geology specialisation prepares students to master sampling methods and analytical tools for the exploration of mineral resources, learn the methods for exploring natural and industrial minerals, interpret mineral exploration data and to understand technical reports,  as well as the interpretation of geoelectrical, gravity and geomagnetic data at the scale of mineral deposits.

Career and Studies Opportunities

The Master’s degree programme in Applied Geosciences is a career oriented multidisciplinary programme suitable for students who are interested in the general area of geoscience.

Graduates of the MSc programme in Applied Geosciences will be able to generate and implement laboratory work, field work, and numeric process simulations.

Popular industries for graduates of the MSc programme in Applied Geosciences include the petroleum industry in the Middle East and elsewhere, the mining companies that are exploring and extracting mineral resources such as copper, chromite, manganese, as well as industrial minerals like limestone, dolomite, gypsum, silica sand and others.

Graduates of the MSc programme in Hydrogeology specialisation are also qualified to work in water supply and distribution companies, and all aspects of water resources management. Besides, hydro geologist are also employed in oil companies as oil production technology has water aspects. In the mining industry, hydro geologist are also needed for underground water management and also for de-watering.

Aside from industry, graduates may go on to pursue consultancy as well as research careers, whether through doctoral study in academia or commercial research.


STRUCTURE

The Master of Science in Applied Geosciences is taught as a part-time programme. The duration of the MSc programme is six semesters.

The programme encompasses a work load equivalent to 120 credit points in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) or 300 credit points in the Oman Qualification Framework (OQF).

The MSc AGEO requires the completion of 19 courses as follows:

  • Twelve foundation courses on the fundamentals of advanced and applied geosciences
  • Seven advanced courses in one of these specialization Hydrogeology, Petroleum Geology, and Mineral Resources Geology.
  • An ‘Assigned Project’ in collaboration with the  industry to gain practical experience.

The degree programme is taught in English, including written and oral tests, seminar papers and the Master thesis. The programme may offer the opportunity to travel to Europe to complete coursework at RWTH Aachen or any other University in Germany.

COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

Study requirements consist of contact hours (in class, on excursion or during practical lab work) and related individual study work (reading of related literature, exam preparation, writing of seminar papers or reports, and completion of the Master’s thesis). Each of the six semesters covers 20 ECTS credit points.

A total of 120 ECTS credit points are required to graduate:

  • 60 ECTS credit points for core courses,
  • 40 ECTS credit points for specialisation related courses in PGEO, HGEO and MGEO
  • 20 ECTS credits for the Master’s thesis.

TIME FRAME

Students are expected to complete the programme in three years, over six semesters, taking 20 ECTS credit points per semester.

TRANSFERRING GRADUATE CREDITS

Incoming students may petition to transfer up to 50 percent of ECTS credit points from classes completed prior to their admission at GUtech. Students seeking transfer credit should fill out a form after they get admitted into the programme. Transfer credit is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the relevant department faculty members.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Academic requirements: A recognised bachelor degree in Geosciences, Physics, Petroleum Engineering, Environmental Sciences, or equivalent fields of study. Relevant work experience can compensate for derivation from narrow related field of study.

Language requirements: Applicants must provide adequate proof of English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL 79 internet-based test, IELTS 6.0 or equivalent).

For questions regarding the application process, please send your inquiry via e-mail: pg@gutech.edu.om
