Additional Programme Cost

• Strongly recommended: A laptop is very essential.
• To ensure academic success, we strongly recommend that students obtain their own copies of the core textbooks for the courses they are enrolled in. Failure to do so may place students at a disadvantage in their studies. The number of required textbooks and associated costs will vary based on the number of courses selected for a given semester.



Living Cost

• Living costs for the academic year commencing in 2023 are estimated to range from N60,000 to N200,000 for each academic session you spend at Anchor. Our academic session consists of two semesters, so typically, you would be in Anchor for approximately ten months per year. However, it is advisable to budget for a eleven-month period to ensure you have enough funds during holidays to cover essential expenses.


• The cost of meals during the academic session will be on a pay-as-you-eat basis.

Careers

A career in applied geophysics opens up a multitude of exciting and rewarding opportunities. As an operations geophysicist, you will play a vital role in planning and executing geophysical surveys and data acquisition campaigns. You will utilize cutting-edge technologies and equipment to collect data from various geophysical methods, such as seismic, gravity, and magnetic surveys. Your expertise will contribute to the identification of potential hydrocarbon reservoirs, geological structures, and subsurface features, supporting exploration and production activities in the oil and gas industry.

Another career path in applied geophysics is that of a processing geophysicist. In this role, you will be responsible for processing and analyzing geophysical data to enhance its quality and extract meaningful information. By employing advanced data processing techniques and software, you will remove noise, improve imaging, and generate accurate subsurface models. Your contributions will directly impact the interpretation and decision-making processes, enabling geoscientists and engineers to make informed choices regarding resource exploration, reservoir characterization, and production optimization.

A quantitative geophysicist career focuses on the mathematical and computational aspects of geophysics. In this role, you will develop and implement algorithms, models, and software tools to analyze and interpret geophysical data quantitatively. You will work on tasks such as inversion, imaging, and data integration, aiming to extract quantitative information about subsurface properties and structures. Your expertise will enable accurate reservoir characterization, fluid flow modeling, and risk assessment, providing valuable insights for reservoir management and production optimization.

As a geophysical interpreter, you will utilize your expertise in applied geophysics to analyze and interpret geophysical data and generate geological and geophysical models. You will collaborate closely with geologists, petrophysicists, and reservoir engineers to integrate diverse data sets and develop a comprehensive understanding of subsurface conditions. Your interpretations will contribute to reservoir mapping, identification of drilling targets, and evaluation of exploration prospects. By bridging the gap between geophysical data and geological concepts, you will play a pivotal role in guiding decision-making processes and reducing exploration and production risks.

In summary, a career in applied geophysics offers a diverse range of roles and responsibilities. Whether you choose to specialize in operations, processing, quantitative analysis, or interpretation, you will have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and make meaningful contributions to the exploration and production of natural resources. Your expertise in applied geophysics will be in high demand, as you play a crucial role in the sustainable development and management of Earth's subsurface resources.
