CPG

MS. Geophysics (Effective Sept. 2021)

The new CPG, with its distinctive industry engagement, is poised to build strength in already strong geosciences programs at KFUPM. The Geophysics program will enjoy state-of-the-art instructional and research facilities as well as additional faculty and staff in the next 3-5 years. The CPG will also help the Geophysics program to develop additional industry engagement and active research partnerships with leading institutions around the world. The Geophysics graduate students will have access to all these resources and will experience an increase in the value of their degree and enjoy the world-class educational experience during their stay at KFUPM.

Students admitted to the Master of Science in Geophysics program are required to prepare and submit a degree plan in consultation with their academic advisors during their first semester in the program. Students will be barred from registering for any additional courses in the following semester unless the degree plan is approved. Students admitted conditionally into the program must satisfy the imposed conditions at the earliest available opportunity. The plan outlined below applies to the Master of Science in Geophysics program.
