The degree is open to all local and international students with an Honours degree in science, or equivalent. It prepares students for a career in the Earth sciences. This program is for those who are interested in post-graduate training in Earth Sciences which will lead to a professional career in science. It is also designed for students who have little or no undergraduate training in Earth Sciences. Students must complete 4 courses (representing 50% of the final mark) and a 6 month research project. Courses must include "Plate Tectonics and Mantle Dynamics", and three other courses offered within the program (see courses below). This graduate degree by coursework attracts fees.
