Earth Science deals with study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. Earth sciences look-into the aspects such as Earth atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and general issues. The study field is also known as geoscience and includes multi-disciplines: atmospheric sciences, meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, hydrology, oceanography, geodesy, geophysics, geology, mineralogy, glaciology, volcanology, petrology, geomagnetism, sedimentology, soil science, geo-statistics, hydrogeology, astronomy and etc. Graduates can work in many areas, especially geology, environmental science, environmental consultancy firms or governmental institutions.
The master course aims at offering participants full capability to acquire high professional skills in coastal zone management, as coordinators of teams involved in assessing coastal – zone status and/or restoration projects, and as researchers on coastal issues.
The programme is intended for those with a Bachelor’s degree in biology or a related field, who wish to deepen their understanding of the interactions taking place in natural or managed systems. The course combines the theoretical basis of ecosystem processes with application of the methods taught in field situations.
Coastal and Marine Management is a cross-disciplinary master´s program that prepares students to engage with one of the most compelling and important subjects today: natural resource management and utilization.
This Master prepares geological engineers to calculate, simulate, anticipate and master the complexity of geological phenomena with the aim of managing in an optimal manner the Earth's resources whilst preserving the natural framework we live in.
The aim of the Master of Science Program ESPACE (Earth oriented space science and technology) is to educate future satellite application engineers. Students in the program gain fundamental knowledge in space engineering and specialize in satellite applications related to navigation, remote sensing and Earth system science. This combination of disciplines distinguishes ESPACE from other Master´s programs in related fields.
The programme focuses on the processes or causal mechanisms underlying population change and on the historical, cultural and institutional context in which these processes originate and evolve.
The MSc Climate Studies is targeted to students who wish to focus on the scientific insights in facing climate change and on social economic implications of climate change.
Ecotoxicology is concerned with the environmental impact of these substances. It aims at characterizing, understanding and finally predicting the effects of toxic chemicals on plant and animal populations, communities and whole ecosystems. As such, ecotoxicology is the scientific basis for environmental frameworks such as for example the new REACH regulation.
The two year Master of Science Programme Applied Earth Sciences is a challenging Engineering Programme for students from a wide variety of different disciplines (including petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, geology, geophysics, civil engineering, natural sciences).
The Department of Earth Science at Uppsala University is one of the most complete such academic departments of Europe. Research in earth science focuses on subjects that range from the Earth’s core to the atmosphere, on scales from sub-microscopic minerals and fossils to the formation of mountains and oceans, and in time from the formation of the Earth to the processes currently reshaping the planet.
This biodiversity conservation course, taught by specialists in the field, will give you an in depth knowledge and understanding of the science and practice of biodiversity conservation. It will equip you with the skills required for a career in biodiversity conservation.
The Master of Geography is a two-year advanced study programme jointly organized by KU Leuven and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).
