Course Overview

The Department of Applied Geology (formerly Department of Science and Mathematics) was established in 2006. It is a pioneer department in NW Borneo (Sarawak) and is dedicated to the development of graduates in Petroleum Geology Field. It is actively serving for our students and their future employers by making outstanding contributions in research and teaching programs in the frontier areas of Geology and Petroleum Geology. Our course is supported by the Department of Applied Geology at Curtin University on the Bentley campus, Perth, Australia.

We encourage and welcome applications from qualified, interested and talented students to join our international program [Bachelor of Science – Applied Geology (Petroleum Stream)]. Students can also apply for MPhil or PhD under the registered supervisors of the department as per the University Guidelines.
