International Master's Programme in Geophysics

About

The International Master's programme in Geophysics is offered jointly by LMU Munich and Technische UniversitÃ¤t MÃ¼nchen, two of Germany's elite universities. The international Master's programme in Geophysics is a research-oriented programme with a strong focus on modelling and simulation. Many of our students go on to continue with PhD-level research afterwards. Our internationally renowned programme allows students to specialise in one of the following fields: geodynamics seismology paleo- and geomagnetism As our research is highly interdisciplinary, we are interested in recruiting not only students with a background in geosciences, but also students from physics, mathematics, or the engineering sciences. If your interest is in applied geophysics, especially exploration seismology, or related techniques, then this is not the right programme for you. Our programme does not focus on these topics. We do not teach these topics and we do not do research on these topics.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Applicants for the programme must possess the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree (in a programme of at least six semesters) with a sufficient grade in one of the following fields: geosciences geophysics mineralogy geology physics mathematics engineering sciences or a related subject Please note that since the programme has a strong focus on modelling and simulation, a sound background in mathematics (minimally linear algebra and multidimensional calculus, preferably also ordinary differential equations) and physics is expected from our applicants.
