Course Overview
MSc (Geophysics)
M.Sc. (Geophysics) stands for Master of Science in Geophysics. It is a postgraduate academic degree that focuses on the study of the Earth using quantitative physical methods, such as seismology, gravity, magnetics, and electromagnetics. Students in this program learn about the structure, composition, and processes of the Earth's interior and how to apply this knowledge to various practical applications, such as mineral exploration, environmental assessment, and natural hazard mitigation.
Geophysics
Geophysics is a branch of Earth science that combines principles of physics and mathematics to study the physical properties and processes of the Earth and other planets. It involves investigating phenomena such as seismic activity, gravitational and magnetic fields, heat flow, and electric currents within the Earth's crust and mantle.
