Joint Master in Applied Geophysics
The Joint Master in Applied Geophysics is a two-year joint degree programme offered by three of Europe's leading science and technology institutions.
Applied Geophysics is concerned with investigating the Earth from the surface to a depth of several kilometres. Geophysical exploration plays a pivotal role to meet the growing demands for natural resources and geo-energies, to respond to the effects of climate change, to provide critical data for civil engineers, and to forecast the effects of natural hazards.
Study programme
The Joint Master’s degree programme in Applied Geophysics offers a unique international and multifaceted education including theoretical as well as practical aspects of Applied Geophysics. The programme is offered by Delft University of Technology, ETH Zurich, and RWTH Aachen University.
You will study:
- Theory and applications of geophysical methods
- Modelling, processing and inversion of geophysical data
- Numerical and computational methods
- Geophysical field work
The programme builds on the strengths and the complementary expertise in Earth Science at the three universities. It offers a combination of study and research, leading to an outstanding qualification in Applied Geophysics.
The graduates are internationally oriented and attractive for positions in industry, government/public organisations and research institutions, but also well prepared for doctoral studies in Earth Sciences around the world.
