MSc Exploration Geophysics 2009-10.  Now working as a geophysicist at ION-GXT.

“After my Physics degree I spent four years working abroad as a teacher, but wanted to get back into science.  I enjoyed studying geophysics in my undergraduate degree and saw this course as an excellent way to apply my scientific background in an exciting field.  I was not disappointed!  It was an intense, challenging year which provided me with fantastic opportunities to learn and put in to practice professional level skills.  The thorough taught course allowed me to get stuck into my project from day one and talk with external partners with confidence and on a level footing.  I now work for a seismic processing contractor and found the Leeds MSc gave me an excellent grounding in the theory and practical application of exploration geophysics on which I am building my career.”
