- Description/content
- The Master’s programme in Geophysics at the University of Münster is research-oriented and spans two years. It covers theoretical and applied concepts with an emphasis on the following fields:
• Seismology
• Geodynamics
• Applied Geophysics
Students benefit from small classes, a supportive learning environment, and close interaction with leading scientists in their fields.
Unlike many other Master's programmes in Earth sciences and related fields, a strong focus lies on quantitative methods, techniques and theories deeply rooted in physics and mathematics. Therefore, a solid background in both fields is required.
