Investigation of a structural geological/geophysical subject - chosen by the student in consultation with sponsor/teaching staff. The specification and content of each project is unique but all will involve primary data interpretation and synthesis, together with a contextual review which in most cases will involve comparison with previous literature.
Projects could involve collaboration with an industry or research partner, carried out partially at their office. 4 months duration, including preparation time for assessments.
