MSc Symposiu 6102 mPetroleum Geoscience

Special thanks to all those organisations who havekindly contributed to projects this year:

All welcome, admission freeLunch will be provided For more information: lynne.white@rhul.ac.uk

We are pleased to invite you to Royal Holloway’s Petroleum Geoscience MSc Symposium, in this, our 31st year. The Symposium is an opportunity to see the work that our students have been doing during the summer, working on petroleum geoscience projects from basins all over the world. It is also an opportunity to meet the students, discuss their career plans, and to network with many of our industry collaborators who kindly provide project data or teach on the course. We look forward to seeing you in September!
