Is Geophysics A Good Course To Study by danielsage: 9:34pm On Apr 12, 2020 |
Please i need ur advice good people of Nairaland I wanted to study an engineering course in unilag but i was advise to pick geophysics instead becuse i failed further maths in my olever now my jamb result is out and i had 240 . So i don't know if i should change my institution to a less competitive school or i should stick to the geophysics . Thank you ! |

I am a PhD holder in Geology. I will advise you to study geology if you have the opportunity but if not go for geophysics. My reasons: 1. Geophysics is an area of specialty in geology. As a graduate of geology you can go for M.Sc in Geophysics but as a geophysics graduate you can't go for M.Sc. 2. Secondly as a graduate of Geology, you can have M.Sc in a. Applied Geophysics (You can specialise in environmental, hydro and engineering geophysics) b. Seismology c. Remote Sensing and GIS d. Marine sciences e. Petroleum Geology f. Petroleum Engineering g. Geotechnical Engineering h. Highway Engineering I. Water resources Engineering j. Soil science/Engineering k. Environmental Sciences l. Astronomy m. Mining There are many more. Geosciences have better prospects than Engineering 4 Likes |

If you don't have the desire, geology isn't for you. Had to bounce from that department. How can someone be studying stone all his life in thick forest? When your mates are building businesses. My advice for you, look well into it, after then you can go ahead. You need proper guidance and counseling based on your strengths. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Geology is more than studying rocks. It involves detailed study of all the components of the Earth using Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics. It is not meant for lazy people. Hypnotise: 1 Like |

Hypnotise:Geology will continue to be relevant as long as the world exists. Who told you Geology don't solve issue. The backbone of the world economy is geology: petroleum, water, mining. Don't say what you don't know. That you didn't study Geology doesn't make it useless. 1 Like |

That someone failed in successfully studying Geology does not mean everyone will fail in it. Here are the entrepreneurship part of Geosciences 1. Setting up of Geochemical analytical labs 2. Mining of ores such as gold, fluorite etc. Do you know how much gold sells at international market? 3. Mineral processing 4. Water Exploration and exploitation 5. Setting up of Environmental biz 6. Setting up soil testing lab 7. Setting up a remote sensing and GIS analysis laboratory Do not let anyone give you fake info. Information is power, you have to browse on line and you will know what geologist do. 3 Likes |

I'm just wondering how you intend to cope with the physics aspect when you don't know further mathematics. I am wondering because any alternative would have you learn mathematics at an advanced level. 1 Like |

Geophysics is a very good and nice course to study.....that is the course I want to go for, for my master degree |

kowasco:Not yet sir. Still saving funds. But I will like to do the stuff @Unilag |
Re: Is Geophysics A Good Course To Study by kowasco(m): 3:28pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
Bills2307:you what I wore jamb this year I chose petroleum engineering but I can't meet the cutoff mark so I came across geophysics and geology but o don't know the one to change to Unilag is my first choice |
Re: Is Geophysics A Good Course To Study by Bills2307(m): 4:58pm On Sep 30, 2020 |
kowasco:Ok. Just do your research, ask around how the dept and lecturers treat their B.Sc students, then you are good to go. All I can tell you is that, it’s not a bad course to study though it depends on ones choice. I studied physics B.Sc, but in the east. Did a bit of geophysics courses and loved it, that’s y I want to do it proper for M.Sc. Cheers |
