Master of Science in Geology (Thesis-Based)

Program Overview

As a geology graduate student at the University of Regina, you can count on learning from and studying alongside highly-qualified and committed instructors in our Master’s and PhD geology programs. Our Master of Science degrees are recognized nationally and internationally and our graduates are eligible to register with professional geoscientific societies in Canada.

Our geology faculty are experts in their fields, and can offer various specialized courses, including many hands-on training opportunities and practices. Their research areas cover hard rock and soft rock studies, geofluids, mineral and oil-gas resources, and environmental geoscience. You’ll benefit from close contact with your supervisor and in-depth involvement in their topics of research, as you achieve your own research objectives.

Strong Connections
You’ll also benefit from our strong connections to industry and government agencies – in the classroom, in the field, in the community, and after graduation – and you’ll become part of a network of graduate students and alumni. Our close co-operation with Saskatchewan industry partners and the Saskatchewan Geological Survey provides hands-on learning opportunities for field work in the Canadian Shield and access to sedimentary cores and data relating to the Phanerozoic rocks of Saskatchewan. We draw additional strength for graduate student supervision from the highly qualified personnel at the Geological Survey. On campus, geology staff and students work in co-operation with the Petroleum Technology Research Centre in Regina.

Employment Success
The U of R geology program has an established reputation for training highly qualified personnel, and our graduates have an excellent record of obtaining employment. Post-graduation work can include working for mineral exploration companies and in government research for the geological survey. Canada’s federal and provincial governments, energy and mining, hydrogeological and related environmental service industries employ highly qualified geoscientists in a range of roles. As the present workforce ages there is a pressing need for new people to fill these roles. The U of R’s graduate programs in geology can prepare you for your career in the geosciences.
