Post Graduate Diploma in Ground Water Geophysics
About the Course
Geophysicists are in great demand in the field ground water due to emphasis on aquifer mapping for better management of ground water resources. A strong need was felt of a course which can be pursued by graduates having completed their education in geophysics, geology or physics, in order to meet the long felt need for skilled manpower in the field of ground water exploration. This course is offered by AF Academy, and not in association with Singhania University.The study material will be sent to students once each semester. The assignments related to study material will be sent twice each semester, to be completed and sent back by the candidate within stipulated time period.Field training is mandatory to complete this course.Institute has all the required equipment & facilities to impart field training in association with geophysics industry. Foreign students have a choice to undergo this training in their own country as well.
