IDEA LEAGUE a focused network of leading European universities of science and technology

Why Applied Geophysics?

Uppermost few kilometres of the Earth include essential resources such as oil, minerals and groundwater

Optimum management of these resources requires de-tailed subsurface knowledge

Major building projects, safe disposal of dangerous wa-ste and natural hazard prevention rely on precise and reliable underground models

Applied geophysics offers powerful tools for non-de-structive testing of the Earth at scales ranging from centimetres to kilometres

Benefits from three institutions

The Master of Science in Applied Geophysics is a two-year programme offered by three of Europe‘s leading science and technology institutions: Delft Technical University, ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen University

Programme builds on the strength and complementary expertise of the three universities

Enhanced student mobility improves chances of pursuing careers in competitive global industries

Broadens students‘ perspective through experiencing different cultures

Provides excellent job opportunities

Live and learn in 3 European cities

TU Delft‘s principal strength is in hydrocarbon exploration and management

Delft offers a wonderful blend of ancient canals lined with merchant houses and modern architecture

ETH Zürich‘s principal strength is in engineering and environmental geosciences

Zürich has a natural beauty for all seasons - inviting for a swim in the lake in the summer and nearby ski resorts in the winter

RWTH Aachen‘s principal strength is in geothermal exploration and basin modelling

Aachen is situated on the rim of the wooded Eifel and Hautes Franges and offers both medieval and modern flair
