Master of Science [M.S] [Petroleum Geoscience] From University College Dublin

The main aims of the MSc Petroleum Geoscience are to:

• Deliver a comprehensive technical grounding in all aspects of geoscience bearing on the search for, and production of, hydrocarbons, both conventional and unconventional
• Nurture and develop critical reasoning skills using ?problem-based? learning and a wide range of practical exercises using subsurface, outcrop, behind-outcrop and geophysical datasets
• Provide quality vocational training in subsurface and related data acquisition, quality-control, interpretation, data integration and uncertainty
• Demonstrate and give first-hand experience of typical industry workflows including the use of a suite of software packages (basin modelling, seismic interpretation, fault properties and reservoir modelling)
• Develop essential transferrable skills (e.g. effective report writing, project management, team working) and the ability to communicate and work with cognate disciplines (e.g. drillers, petroleum engineers)
