The course focuses on shallow geothermal probes and geothermal well systems, but also covers topics such as deep geothermal energy and geothermal storage potential. Lecturers from industry, government agencies and research institutions provide practical input on issues such as quality assurance, licensing practices, strategic planning and the sustainable use of geothermal resources.

The course will introduce students to the general principles of Geothermics and is suitable for students who have a basic knowledge of Geoscience or Environmental Science (equivalent of a Bachelor degree).
