Why Bachelor of Science (Honours)?
Discover the Earth’s interior and tackle big questions to help power, build and sustain our future.
With our Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Geophysics, you’ll explore the physical processes that make the Earth dynamic. Study how the planet works from the inside out, investigating everything from tectonic activity to changes in the Earth’s surface and environment over time. Apply physics-based techniques – such as seismic, magnetic and gravitational methods – along with computer modelling and hands-on fieldwork to solve practical problems.
With an additional honours year, widen your career prospects, gain a competitive edge and start building a strong foundation for future postgraduate research. Graduate ready to work as an Earth scientist in a range of industries and government agencies – from environmental to mineral and energy resources.
Overview
Apply physics-based techniques to geological problems occurring on Earth and throughout the solar system. With our Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Geophysics, develop skills to understand the sources of geophysical fields and how their variations reveal the structure and composition of Earth’s interior.
Build a strong foundation in the tools and methods used to study Earth’s subsurface through hands-on fieldwork, lab exercises measuring the physical properties of rocks, and interactive computer labs. Apply your knowledge to real-world challenges in global, exploration and environmental geophysics. Extend your learning with an honours year, where you'll complete an advanced Earth sciences project. Graduating with honours can expand your career prospects while also preparing you for postgraduate research – if you choose to pursue it.
Graduate with essential skills for careers in resource exploration, environmental monitoring, natural hazard assessment and scientific research.
Key features
Understand the structure and composition of the Earth and its dynamic interior. - Apply techniques of geophysical data analysis, computer modelling, visualisation and interpretation.
- Practice geophysical techniques through field-based practicals.
- Use 3D technology in specialised computer labs to detect and map mineral and energy resources.
- Flexible professional experience options including research projects and industry placements.
- Deepen your skills and widen your job prospects with an honours year.
What you'll learn
Build your analytical, problem-solving and computational skills while getting the change to build a degree around your interests with our Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Geophysics. You’ll study a degree that prepares you to influence global change and become a skilled researcher.
Your science degree will allow you to choose from a range of electives and core courses, so you can build foundational knowledge and skills in data analysis, mathematics and science. In your geophysics major, learn to use physical principles and methods that answer questions about the Earth, its environment, processes and properties. Apply principles of geology, physics and data science to understand geological phenomena and solve real problems. Get hands-on with laboratory experiments, fieldwork and computer visualisation, learning to recognise and identify different types of rocks and structures in the subsurface.
Our wide range of electives give you the freedom to explore a little bit of everything. You could study another area of science or venture into non-science areas such as arts, languages, business, mathematics – or something else entirely.
In your third year, a work integrated learning experience will further develop your expertise. Then in your final year, put all your learnings into practice with an Earth sciences honours project.
Throughout your degree, engage in collaborative learning on-campus through tutorials and workshops, seminars and lectures. Some courses also offer online delivery, allowing flexibility in how your study. Graduate ready to collaborate with professionals in geology, engineering, environmental science and other related fields.

Career outcomes
Our Bachelor of Science (Honours) majoring in Geophysics will lead you to diverse career opportunities. Your additional honours year will make you even more competitive in the job market, with advanced analytical skills and specialised knowledge. As a geophysicist, you could be employed in industries such as environmental, energy, mineral resources, groundwater, state and federal government geological surveys, defence science and academic research.
Maybe you’ll investigate the impact of mining operations on groundwater and surface environmental processes. Perhaps you’ll consult for federal or state government geological surveys and environment departments. You could even manage and predict earthquake risks and climate impacts or find the next major ore deposit.
You could also pursue the following careers:
- Geophysicist
- Geoscience data analyst
- Exploration geologist
- Energy geoscientist
- Hazard mitigation scientist
- Geotechnical scientist
- Planetary scientist
- Field technician
- Laboratory technician
- Research scientist.
Industry trends
The job outlook for geologists and geophysicists is strong in Australia and work is commonly found in exploration and mining industries (Jobs and Skills Australia, 2024). The modernisation of geophysics through organisations like the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) is transforming how research is conducted. Thanks to high-performance, national-scale datasets, the geophysics research community can explore Australia’s surface and subsurface in new ways (NCI, 2023) – allowing revolutionary discoveries in composition and structure.
