How can geothermal energy be efficiently explored for the underground, as alternative source of energy? Can groundwater be exploited sustainably? Which earth strata can be used to safely store the greenhouse gas CO2 in order to mitigate the global warming? How can you prevent ground subsidence? As a student of Applied Earth Sciences, you can aspire to become an expert solving such issues of high societal and economic impacts. It’s adventurous and strongly international, but above all it’s a world study: this degree programme centres on the earth itself. An Applied Earth Sciences engineer is able to find and process just about everything of value under the ground.

Location

Delft is a compact, historic town between Rotterdam and The Hague in the province of Zuid-Holland. It forms part of the Randstad, the urban agglomeration in the west of the Netherlands and is the nation’s main educational and research centre. Today, Delft ranks as a high-tech location due to the abundance of technology-based institutions and organisations close to and often involved with the university.


Delft has a reputation for being a friendly city; bars and terraces along the canals and on the city squares, quirky shops, affordable restaurants and great cinemas. It is easy to find your way around as everything is close together. Delft is bursting with activity from spring right through to autumn, including music festivals and street theatre.
