Do you want to be involved in the green transition for sustainable exploration and extraction of mineral resources? Contribute to safe and sustainable locations of buildings, tunnels or nuclear waste? Have an impact on informed natural hazard mitigation associated with volcanoes and landslides? The Master's Programme in Earth Science, specialising in Geology, will enable you to contribute to the sustainable use of Earth's resources for the future. This specialisation, in the Master's programme in Earth Science, focuses on mineral and rock formation and deformation in a wide range of geological environments. It provides you with expertise to contribute to the green transition and sustainable societies. There is a strong emphasis on geochemistry and geochronology as tools to understand geological processes. Projects within the courses also provide experience with 3D modelling, analogue tectonic modelling, as well as geochemical, thermobarometric and thermodynamic modelling. During the programme, you can expect to: learn diverse applications of minerals and tectonics; learn how to find a balance between using and preserving Earth's resources; and learn 3D modelling and analogue tectonic modelling as well as geochemical, thermobarometric and thermodynamic modelling.

A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 90 credits in earth science and 15 credits in chemistry; or 90 credits in physics and 30 credits in earth science; or 90 credits in engineering and 30 credits in earth science; or 90 credits in geology.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
