MSc Exploration Geophysics 2009-10 – now working for BP

"I decided to focus on geophysics during the final year of my physics degree.  I applied to BP who offered to sponsor me through a Masters degree.  The MSc Exploration Geophysics course at Leeds was highly recommended to me.  I found the course to be an excellent foundation for entering a career in geophysics.  For my dissertation I carried out a project in the BP offices, researching methods to improve the determination of 4D time shifts for seismic data.  I was offered a job with BP during the MSc and have just started working as a geophysicist.  The MSc has been invaluable so far!”
