Master's program in Applied Geosciences

The Master's program leads to the acquisition of in-depth analytical, methodological and technical skills. The degree qualifies students for scientific research and for the independent planning, conception and implementation of projects in geoscientifically oriented institutions.

Students can choose between the three profiles "Sustainable Energy, Raw Materials and Storage","Hydrogeology & Engineering Geology" and "Mineralogy and Geochemistry".

In addition, the Master's course can also be freely designed. Within the areas of "Geoscientific specialization" and "Subject-related supplements", modules can be chosen as desired from the range of courses on offer.

The course ends with the Master's thesis, which takes six months to complete.

The sound academic training in the three profiles enables graduates to describe and interpret the special features, terminology, doctrines and limits of the core subject areas and elective subjects and to reflect the current state of research and develop it further in specific areas. Their broad knowledge enables them to think in an interdisciplinary way and view topics from different perspectives. They are prepared to use computer-based methods in practice. They can take a differentiated view of complex problems as well as information and current requirements and analyze, compare, evaluate and implement them using suitable methods and concepts, including in teams. They are able to exchange ideas at a scientific level and assume responsibility in an international team. They are excellently qualified for jobs in industry, the service sector or public administration as well as for an academic career (doctorate).
