Geophysics has to do with the physics of the earth and its surrounding atmosphere and applies the theory and method of physics, combined with geology, atmospheric science, marine science and astronomy, to detect all kinds of geophysical fields (such as the earth's magnetic field, electric field, gravity field and seismic wave field, temperature field, the interior of the earth radiation, atmosphere and plasma radiation field, high electromagnetic field, etc.) by means of modern science and technology. You will learn to use such geophysical fields to obtain useful information that is used during exploration, drilling and production of hydrocarbons.

This program will provide the students with cutting-edge knowledge in exploration and mining geology used by earth scientists active in the exploration and mining of metals and minerals. The program covers aspects necessary for an environmentally aware geoscientist. The teaching is in English and the program offers two specializations for the students; exploration and environmental geosciences.

The B.S. in Environmental Geosciences is an interdisciplinary geosciences degree with course content drawn from meteorology, geology, oceanography, and physical geography. The undergraduate major in Environmental Geosciences requires extensive preparation in science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and math (Calculus and Statistics).

The program lasts 3 semesters, which will be divided into two teaching periods, offered in Santiago de Chile and one semester for the preparation of the thesis. The two academic periods consist of compulsory and optional modules, which must be approved before starting the thesis work. In the third semester, the thesis must be elaborated. The compulsory modules will take place at the Heidelberg Center for Latin America and will be taught by professors from the University of Heidelberg, the Catholic University, and the University of Chile. While the elective modules are part of the programs offered by the UC and the U of Chile respectively. The courses will be taught in Spanish or English. Participants can also take free German courses if they so wish.
