Scholarships for SEGS Honours Students

Perth is the centre of the Australian petroleum and mining industries and SEGS has close relationships with both sectors. Minerals and petroleum science and engineering at UWA have an international reputation based on a long history of collaboration with petroleum and mining companies.

The Honours scholarships provide an exciting opportunity to study petroleum and minerals geology in one of the world’s great resource-industry centres and to develop ties to the local industry. Currently the demand for geoscience graduates and graduate starting salaries are at unprecedented levels. Completion of Honours degrees at 2A level or better also enables students to apply to enter the large SEGS postgraduate programme studying for Ph.D and M.Sc degrees as part of the research programmes of the school's research centres.

For more information on the wealth of general honours scholarships available at UWA visit the Scholarships site.
