Geophysics

The research-oriented Master’s Program in Geophysics at WWU focusses on Geodynamics, Seismology and Applied Geophysics. The program aims at a close integration between research and teaching. During their first year, students receive advanced training in the three research fields mentioned above. In addition, they choose supplementary classes in Geoscience, Physics and other topics. During the second year, students carry out an independent research project that finally results in their Master’s thesis. They are fully integrated into one of the research groups of the institute and are supervised by a leading scientist in their field. The program takes two years in total.
