Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

The aim of the bilingual, consecutive master's programme in Applied Geosciences is to provide in-depth knowledge in the geosciences. The understanding of the processes in the Earth's interior and on the Earth's surface is furthered using scientific methods; the spatio-temporal dynamics of the Earth System are studied and investigated in a comprehensive and holistic manner. The training focuses on methods and techniques for independent, responsible work in selectable subject areas including: Geodynamics (research on deformation and rheology of geomaterials, assessment of geohazards), Applied Geology (hydrogeology, geothermal energy, engineering geology), Technical Mineralogy, Geochemistry (analysis of geomaterials, treatment of mineral residues, CO2 storage), and Sedimentary systems and resources (sediment dynamics, integration of sedimentological techniques). The MSc Applied Geosciences qualifies for complex geoscientific activities and tasks in science, industry, and business, preparing broadly based specialists for future-oriented search and use of natural geological resources.
