Introduction

The aim of this master's, entirely taught in English, is to provide students with the knowledge to develop and apply mathematical and numerical models of geophysical and environmental systems and processes, design and carry out geophysical observation and exploration of the planet, analyze and design activities for the mitigation of natural and environmental risks. All course units include laboratory or field exercises, to complement "theoretical" training with practical activities.

In this context, the MS program aims to provide an in-depth broad-spectrum preparation in geophysics, based on a solid knowledge of physics and geological sciences. This is guaranteed through characterizing activities, which are divided into two exams in the physical disciplines (12 credits), two exams in the geological disciplines (12 credits, with extensive field activity) and four exams in the geophysical disciplines (24 credits), in order to provide a common in-depth knowledge. These activities provide the student with an adequate mastery of the scientific method of investigation, strengthening the knowledge acquired in the first-level degree courses. The teaching activities in the physical and geological disciplines play a fundamental role in aligning the preparation of students. In fact, the MS in Geophysics can be attended by students with a very diversified background: students with a bachelor's or first-level academic degree in different courses of the scientific area; students from different universities and from different countries, not only European but also from other continents.
