About the course
New Zealand is a recognised leader in ensuring best practice in geothermal development. Auckland is only a three-hour drive away from most of the country’s high temperature geothermal systems. We're therefore perfectly positioned to offer postgraduate study in this field.
This highly practical programme focuses on the applied knowledge and skills required to pursue a career in the geothermal industry. It includes two field trips to the Taupo volcanic zone, and learning from our highly-regarded staff, all of whom are members of the Geothermal Institute and GNS Science.
