Full-time September years: 2 - 3
Students define the focus of their Master’s degree through their choice of specialisation. The Geology specialisation is concerned with the interaction between the earth’s mantle, the earth’s crust, the hydrosphere and atmosphere, as well as the development cycle of rocks from sedimentation to deformation at all scales. Mineralogy and Geochemistry examines the earth’s materials in the field and in the laboratory to better understand the origins and composition of the planets, conditions in the earth’s core, volcanic activity and the development of valuable raw materials. Engineering Geology takes a practical approach to address the interdependence of our society and the geological substratum, e.g. in the context of construction projects, slump and rockslides.
