15 Part time MSc Programs in Earth Science 2024

The online M.S. in Water Resource Policy and Management at East Central University focuses on law and policy, water science and Native American issues. Learn to develop solutions that are socially acceptable, politically viable and environmentally sustainable.

The MSc in Petroleum Geosciences is a research-intensive program at an internationally recognized center of excellence in education and research in petroleum geology and geophysics. Upon completion of the MSc in Petroleum Geosciences, graduates will be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, physics, geology, and geophysics to formulate solutions to various geoscience problems.

This degree is designed for students who wish to become proficient in applying geological knowledge and geophysical methods to finding and developing reserves of oil and natural gas. Students can specialize in two focus areas: geology and geophysics. The geology focus area prepares students to be explorationists, with strong skills in using seismic and other geophysical methods along with geological principles to find oil and natural gas. The geophysics focus area prepares students to become technical experts in aspects of exploration seismology.

The MSc Advanced Oceanography for Professionals programme consists of a stand-alone 60 credit research module, which provides the opportunity to complete a full 180 credits at Level 7.

The Master’s degree programme in Georesources and Geoenergy Engineering is the only programme on primary resources and energy in Italy. It responds to the demand for professionals in the field of decarbonization and sustainable exploration, production and processing of raw materials and energy resources, with particular focus on key competencies for the energy transition, decarbonizations and mitigation of the environmental impacts of extractive activities.

The M.Sc. Geophysics is a research-oriented program that offers individual specialisation. Students can choose those lectures from the curriculum of the Institute of Geophysics that best suit their scientific interests.

Our Geotechnical Engineering Masters/MSc is designed for recent graduates or experienced professionals, The program is ideal for civil engineers and geologists seeking to extend their professional scope or specialize in geotechnical engineering. The long-term performance of the structure must be predicted, and instruments may have to be installed to check the prediction.

The Birmingham Hydrogeology MSc is the longest-running groundwater MSc course in the UK. Our alumni comprise a large proportion of the groundwater professionals in the UK and many more in another 50 or so countries, all contributing significantly to both human and environmental well-being.

Geotechnical engineering – the mechanics of the earth’s materials – is a sector with a huge global skills shortage, meaning that well-trained geotechnical engineers are in high demand.

The Master of Science in Applied Geosciences provides students with theoretical and technical expertise in hydrogeology, petroleum geology, and mineral resources geology.

The educational mission of the PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCES Program at The Petroleum Institute is to provide a high-quality education in petroleum geology and geophysics and to produce graduates for successful and socially and ethically responsible careers in the petroleum industry that meet or exceed the needs and expectations of ADNOC and other industry sponsors.

The ground is the greatest area of technical risk in construction — therefore the demand for qualified specialists in geotechnical engineering is ever-growing, both in the UK and internationally. Our Geotechnical Engineering MSc covers the practical application of geotechnical engineering to reduce construction risk and optimise the design of geotechnical structures to ensure that they are safe, sustainable and resilient.

Comprehensive training in the theory and practice of environmental geoscience that equips graduates for careers in scientific, engineering, and environmental consultancies, natural resources and mining industries, regulatory agencies, and research in Ireland and further afield.

Environmental water management is of increasing importance to all types of organisations in the UK and throughout the world. There is a growing need for qualified and trained environmental water managers. The M.Sc. Water and Environmental Management course focus on sound water management and the requirements of sustainable development.

The Water Resources Management (WRM) program is a flexible, interdisciplinary course of study leading to a Master of Science degree. Students work with their advisory committee to design a course of study that allows them to better understand water-related issues within the context of their personal interests and their existing skillset.
