Geoscience

The NAWI Graz Geocenter, and the master’s programme in Geosciences, combine basic research, applied research and engineering science in an integrated approach that is unique in the German-speaking countries. This programme is taught in English, reflecting its international perspective.In this degree programme you will investigate the formation and structure of the Earth and life on it, and the safeguarding and use of natural resources. Research topics range from global processes (e.g. plate tectonics, oceanography, evolution) to geo- and hydrochemical processes on micro and nano levels, or the development of aquifers, to geotechnical applications.As a graduate of this master’s programme you will have a wide range of options for employment in academic and applied roles in the geosciences. Typical fields of work include the construction industry, water management, geotechnics, environmental and resource management, materials and chemical industries, geotechnics-oriented engineering consultancies, or museums and public authorities. You will also be able to work in basic and applied research in universities and non-university institutions.
