The Department is established to equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise that are required to search, identify, annex, and exploit the abundant Earth’s natural resources for National Development. The programme is planned to produce competent manpower for a rewarding career in the oil and gas, and mining industry, environmental, groundwater, and civil construction sectors, the academic sector, and other sectors of the national economy. Consequently, a graduate of the Applied Geophysics programme from this Department will serve as competent manpower that is required to realize the Local Content Programme of the Federal Government of Nigeria and be relevant to meet international geoscience needs.
