Bachelor of Science in Geophysics
Program Overview
Geophysics is the study of the Earth from the near-surface to the deep interior through the use of quantitative physical methods. On this programme, you study forces such as gravity and magnetism and learn about how these forces act on the Earth’s interior, crust, oceans and the atmosphere.
Our state-of-the-art, purpose-built, Science Teaching Hub is due to open in early 2022, providing students with a digitally focussed environment including advanced analytical tools, research-grade equipment and flexible, safe laboratory spaces. Students will have access to research-grade equipment to best prepare them for their future career, whilst the digitally focussed, completely paperless environment allows for a more hands-on learning experience.
On this programme, you will learn to combine a deep knowledge of geology and physics and apply practical field-based skills to areas ranging from hydrocarbon exploration to plate tectonics and from environmental services to archaeological excavations.
This unique programme is designed to expose students to the theory and practice of modern geophysics, with an emphasis on cutting edge techniques for understanding the structure, dynamics and composition of the Earth from the near-surface to the deep interior. The content is broad-based and integrative with a strong focus on the quantitative aspects of geophysical data analysis and interpretation.
This programme specifically addresses the recognised need for qualified geophysicists within the hydrocarbons industry, by equipping students with the particular skills for careers in the hydrocarbon, minerals exploration or associated service industries. While traditionally, graduates from the University of Aberdeen have been attracted to careers in the oil and gas industry, many others have gone on to work in to other diverse areas including mineral exploration, environmental geophysics or associated service industries.
The teaching of physics at Aberdeen has a long and illustrious history, with notable great physicists such as James Clerk Maxwell and G.P. Thomson counted amongst its former staff.
