Master of Science [M.S] [Earth Science - Palaeobiology] From Uppsala University

Are you interested in how life on earth looked like millions or even billions of years ago? Do you want to understand how life has evolved and been influenced by the Earth's chemical and physical changes, and how the climate and environment has changed over time??

The Master Programme in Earth Science - Palaeobiology from Uppsala University?is focused on the evolution of life with courses ranging from palaeobiological principles, through to evolution of organisms to complex vertebrate life forms. This is a mainly research-oriented specialisation, but has applications to careers in geology and the oil industry.

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 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. Alumni from the Palaeobiology programme today work largely within the scientific academy worldwide.
