Master of Science [M.S] [Physics - Geophysics] From Uppsala University

The Master Programme in at ?allows you to combine your physics knowledge with field data and laboratory experiments to get a deeper understanding of the solid Earth. Our students and faculty form a diverse, international group in close collaboration with researchers around the world. We explore how the earth works try to figure out more about the processes that shape our planet.

Geophysics is used to reduce risks from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides. It is used to find natural resources such as water, minerals, geothermal energy and fossil fuels, and to monitor environmental problems such as groundwater pollution. The job-market for a geophysicist is thus very broad and international, including academia, industry and government or international authorities.

Career

Depending on the courses you take and the specialisation you choose, there are many other individual career opportunities in special areas, both within and outside the field of physics.?For example, you may find employment as a company consultant, project manager in R&D, or as a specialist in banking, insurance or research organisations.
