Bachelor of Science (Energy Geoscience) (BSc(EnGeo))

Global energy demands are increasing annually highlighting the critical importance of energy resources for future sustainability. This program is for students interested in the areas of science that relate to Earth's energy resources - including conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons, water, geothermal and uranium for nuclear power. This program provides graduates with specific knowledge and skill sets to investigate the nature, origin, distribution, discovery and exploitation of these energy resources that are increasingly required for successful careers in this rapidly growing industry. A feature of the program includes extensive fieldwork and practical investigations. In second year, students will have the opportunity to undertake a semester of study abroad at a renowned energy geoscience institution. In third year, students undertake a Work Integrated Learning Experience and will be mentored by industry experts and will undertake research projects with real industry samples and datasets. The program is in line with the strategic development of South Australia in providing training for the next generation of skilled workers in the energy sector.
The Bachelor of Science (Energy Geoscience) is an AQF Level 7 program with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
