Exploration and Resource Geology | Master's degree | Science | On Campus | 4 years | Cardiff University | United Kingdom

Specialise in the exploration of our natural resources and gain valuable research skills on this four-year Master's Degree. People have been using Earth’s natural resources like metals, minerals, oil and gas for centuries to build our towns and cities, power our homes, and make the vehicles, devices and tools that we depend on. New resources are increasingly hard to find and specialist skills and technology are required to locate and use them responsibly. On our Exploration Geology course, you will learn how Earth’s processes have created natural resources and how to explore for them to meet future demand. You will develop skills in fieldwork (both above and underground), data analysis and confident decision making and use modern exploration software. Our Master's Degrees involve a fourth year of study where you work on a research project with a scientist from the School and their research team. Your advanced research and problem-solving skills will be invaluable to employers in academia, government and industry. We make the most of our location and take regular field trips to explore mining sites across Wales, as well as overseas trips to locations such as Spain and Cyprus
