Students in Saint Louis University's Master of Science in Geoscience program apply physics and chemistry to study Earth processes from the surface to the core. These studies prepare our graduates for diverse careers in government, industry, consulting and academia.

Environmental science is more important today than ever before. American University's Master of Science in Environmental Science gives students the knowledge and leadership skills to confront pressing environmental challenges facing the world, from climate change to renewable energy to food and water security. The program will prepare you for careers in science, research, environmental policy, and advocacy. With advanced coursework in climate modeling, geochemistry, conservation, and statistics necessary to inform science-based policy, the program prepares students to engage in high-level environmental problem-solving and to develop innovative solutions to critically important environmental issues.

Geology plays a crucial role in addressing global environmental and industrial challenges. The Applied Geoscience programme is designed for international students seeking a comprehensive education in geosciences with a focus on practical applications. Spanning two years (four semesters), this programme equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle issues related to mineral resources, environmental protection, hydrogeology, and geological engineering. The curriculum is structured to gradually build expertise, starting with foundational programmes and advancing towards specialised topics, culminating in an independent MSc thesis project in the final semester.

This degree is designed for students who wish to become proficient in applying geological knowledge and geophysical methods to finding and developing reserves of oil and natural gas. Students can specialize in two focus areas: geology and geophysics. The geology focus area prepares students to be explorationists, with strong skills in using seismic and other geophysical methods along with geological principles to find oil and natural gas. The geophysics focus area prepares students to become technical experts in aspects of exploration seismology.

This research-driven program blends geology and geophysics, covering climate change, water resources, geothermal energy, and Carbon Capture and Storage, preparing you for a career in sustainability and energy.

Gain knowledge of coastal, ocean, and seafloor behaviour relevant to the design of coastal and offshore infrastructure on this master's course. You'll develop valuable skills in applied geoscience to deal with hazards such as erosion, flooding, and habitat degradation to marine environments.

The Master’s degree in Geophysics for Natural Risks and Resources has the main goal of educating professionals and researchers capable of approaching in a multi-disciplinary manner the theory and applications of physical methodologies for the exploration and characterization of the subsoil. This exploration can take place ad different spatial scales, from meters to tens and hundreds of kilometers, with aims spanning a large number of application and theoretical areas where the knowledge of soil and subsoil is crucial. Both computational and field oriented specializations are foreseen.

Mineral Materials/IMACS is an integrated MSc dedicated to the analysis, study and development of natural minerals and geomaterials to respond to environmental and sustainable development issues.

Sustaining a growing population on our dynamic planet requires a deep understanding of geological and geophysical processes within the Earth, and of how they interact with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and Biota. The Master's Program in Geology and Geophysics trains you to address pressing questions concerning our home planet's evolution, its role as the source of raw materials needed by modern civilization, and environmental issues.

The Master’s degree programme in Georesources and Geoenergy Engineering is the only programme on primary resources and energy in Italy. It responds to the demand for professionals in the field of decarbonization and sustainable exploration, production and processing of raw materials and energy resources, with particular focus on key competencies for the energy transition, decarbonizations and mitigation of the environmental impacts of extractive activities.

The aim of this master's Degree in Geophysics 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.

The Geoeconomic Risks and Strategic Intelligence specialty of the "International Strategy Analyst" title trains experts capable of anticipating and managing the strategic challenges of a globalized world. Upon completion of their training, students, trained at the intersection of economics, geopolitics, and strategy, will acquire solid skills to anticipate and respond to the strategic challenges of a globalized world. It aims to provide students with the knowledge, know-how, and interpersonal skills to transform organizations from within in the face of current upheavals. They will be able to understand the risks associated with international crime, dependence on raw materials, and industrial oligopolies in an increasingly fragmented and constrained global market. They will have the intellectual and methodological tools and skills to conduct studies and translate their analyses into operational terms.

The Master’s Degree in Geosciences for Sustainable Development trains professionals with a solid scientific and technical background to tackle environmental and territorial challenges with an interdisciplinary approach. Students acquire skills to manage complex geological systems, promoting sustainability and the responsible use of resources.
