20 Geoscience Master's Degree Programs

The Master’s degree in Geophysics for Earth and Climate Processes, 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.

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.

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.

In the Work-Integrated Master’s degree in Geoscience at Aarhus University, you study part-time while working part-time in a company or organisation. This allows you to apply geological and geophysical methods directly to real-world challenges in areas such as groundwater, renewable energy, and environmental protection. After the 4-year programme, you graduate with both substantial work experience and a high-quality master’s degree.

The UB-UAB University Master's Degree in Geosciences for the Energy Transition trains specialist in geology and geophysics with a clear focus on applying sustainable solution to the challenges of the energy transition. The program explores the advanced study of the subsurfaces as a key element of the new energy system, with particular emphasis on geothermal energy, underground storage of energy and CO₂, and the responsible exploration of hydrocarbons and natural hydrogen.

The Master’s Degree in Geodetic Engineering and Applied Geophysics focuses on the application of current geodetic and geophysical techniques to problems in the fields of Earth Sciences and Engineering, such as Deformation of the Earth’s crust in Geodynamics and more.

Training of professionally competent and qualified staff to understand, conceive, design and implement optimized technical solutions in the areas of Exploration, Exploitation, and Treatment of Mineral Raw Materials, as well as in the area of the Geoenvironment, with a view to environmental preservation, recovery, and sustainability, understood as fundamental pillars of social cohesion and well-being.

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.
