The Master in Geophysics program at Aarhus University is for those who are interested in the Earth's climate system, water resources, geothermal energy and other development of sustainable solutions to the resource needs of modern society (e.g. clean drinking water and sustainable energy and minerals). It is for those who would like to be skilled at working with computer models based on data collected in the field, such as electrical properties, sound data from soil layers, chemical variations and climate data.
Geophysics is based on mathematical and physical theory combined with practical experiments and studies. Students will work with geophysical measurements, geological observations and advanced computer models to solve a wide range of geoscientific questions posed by modern society, such as where to find groundwater, sand and gravel, optimum geothermal conditions for heat extraction, etc.
The Master in Geophysics is research-based and has a high degree of flexibility that makes it possible for students to shape their education based on their own interests. The program offers the following four specialisations: water, climate, energy and deep soil systems.
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens (or citizens with a British national overseas passport) must pay tuition fees.
