The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University is one of the most comprehensive academic departments of its kind in 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.

Career

The Master Programme in Earth Science, European Palaeobiology Specialisation (Uppsala-Lille), provides good opportunities for a postgraduate education with subsequent research careers. Alumni from the programme work largely in the scientific industry worldwide.

The need for earth scientist is increasing in the labor market, primarily in the environmental and natural resources areas, which are growing strongly, both nationally and internationally.
