Geology - Applied Environmental Geoscience (MSc)
Our MSc Applied Environmental Geoscience programme will provide you with comprehensive training in the theory and practice of environmental geoscience. Established in 2017, in consultation with industry and government agencies, our Geology programme was established by the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES) in order to address a skills shortage identified in the environmental geoscience sector in Ireland.
There is global demand for graduates with applied environmental geoscience skills and this demand is projected to grow in the coming years. This multidisciplinary vocational programme equips graduates for careers in scientific, engineering, and environmental consultancies, natural resources and mining industries, regulatory agencies, and research in Ireland and further afield. Our course content is regularly reviewed by a panel of industry advisors from a range of local and international geoscience practice areas in order to meet the ongoing needs of the geoscience sector.
Our course also offers a unique opportunity for international students to gain EU-based work experience whilst studying for their Masters.
The course is delivered in two parts.
Part I comprises modules to the value of 60 credits involving field study, lectures, practical classes, seminars, and workshops.
Part II consists of a research dissertation based on independent research to the value of 30 credits (GL6019) which is completed between April and September.
