BGI is a central research facility at the University of Bayreuth and a global leader in research and training in experimental geochemistry and geophysics. The institute is also involved in materials science research and has developed strong relationships with industry partners.In the M.Sc. programme, students are integrated into small research groups right from the beginning. They work on independent projects under the close and personal supervision of experienced scientists. The laboratory-based work is supplemented by lectures as well as literature and research seminars. The language of instruction is English.
