Exploration Geology Programme
Prof Jock Harmer, the present director of the Exploration Geology MSc Program, will retire at the end of 2019. The University is currently undertaking an assessment of the Program ahead of initiating the search for a new Director. As a consequence, no new registrations will be accepted for 2020: registration of candidates for the 2021-2022 cycle will be resume from September 2020.
The postgraduate programme in Exploration and Economic Geology has existed for over three decades, offering MSc level degree qualifications through combined course-work and thesis.
Historically offered as a full-time course, changes in the nature of the exploration/mining industry in Africa motivated a redesign of the programme to a part-time format running over two academic years. The part time structure enables working professionals the opportunity to further their skills in the broad field of mineral resources.
Selected courses in the teaching modules are offered as workshops to non-registered delegates: details of these workshops and related fees are provided here.
