Geophysics
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE WITH HONOURS – GEOPHYSICS
Geophysics Programme Goal
The geophysics programme's primary goal is to produce a Geophysicist with competent knowledge and scientific instruments to foresee physical properties beneath the Earth's surface associated with hazards, monitor process and mineral resources, image the Earth's structure, and estimate/predict the processes that occur.
