Master in International Master in Applied Geoscience

The Applied Geoscience (MGEX) International Master's programme at TU Bergakademie Freiberg provides training in geology, environmental sciences, and geophysics. Students gain exposure to a range of field, laboratory, and numerical approaches, and pursue their degree within one of four specialisation areas: Computational and Mathematical Geoscience, Environmental Geoscience, Groundwater Resources, or Tectonics and Structural Geology. Coursework is supplemented by research and, where applicable, teaching activities. The first semester introduces all specialisation fields and includes a course on scientific communication. The second semester centres on experimental laboratory and field studies, while the third offers advanced courses. Each student completes an in-depth research project and writes a thesis summarising that work, concluding with a Master's thesis defence. The programme is offered at TU Bergakademie Freiberg in Freiberg, Germany.
