Course Requirements : ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Candidates for the M.Sc must have a Second Class B.Sc Honours degree in Geology. In special cases, candidates with a lower class of degree, but with relevant professional experience, may be considered for admission. Candidates with degrees in Engineering, Chemistry and Physical sciences may be considered depending on their background and areas of interest. In such a cases, the candidates must make up deficiencies in their undergraduate training by taking appropriate remedial courses from the Geology undergraduate curriculum.ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Candidates for the M.Sc must have a Second Class B.Sc Honours degree in Geology.

Course Note : The M.Sc programme is carried out in two major fields of spcialization, viz. a) Applied Geology b) Geology A. The Applied Geology Course has two options: a) Mineral Exploration b) Hydrogeology c) Petroleum Geology The Mineral Exploration Course also has two options: i) Industrial Mineral Exploration ii) Metalliferous/Ore Mineral Exploration B. The Geology Course includes the following: a) Igneous/Metamorphic Petrology b) Sedimentology c) Palaeontology/Stratigraphy d) Structural/Geology Facilities for full-time and part-time M.Sc programmes are available. According to the Postgraduate School every full-time candidate shall pursue the programme for not less than twelve (12) calendar months and not more than thirty-six (36) calendar months. The same programme for part-time shall be completed in not less than twenty (20) calendar months and not more than sixty (60) calendar months. Candidates for M.Sc Geology are however advised to register for full-time and should normally be expected to graduate in two regular academic sessions. The first session is devoted to coursework, which is mandatory and examined at the end of that session. Thereafter the candidate is assigned a research project for the second session at the end of which a thesis is to be submitted and examined by a panel of external and internal examiners including an oral defense.
