Master's Programme in Earth Science - Hydrology/Hydrogeology

Education facts

Code: TGV2M

The Master's Programme in Earth Science will enable you to learn about the interdependency of Earth Systems and gain advanced skills in specific areas within Earth Sciences. Explore climate change from the perspectives of Earth processes occurring in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. Find a balance between using and preserving Earth's resources and reducing the environmental impact for a healthy sustainable future. The combination of breadth and depth is a distinguishing feature of our Master's Programme in Earth Science. This reflects the scientific profile of the department, which focuses on research into climate, development of life, natural hazards, natural resources, energy and sustainable development. In the specialisation in Hydrology/Hydrogeology, you will study processes such as runoff, groundwater recharge and flow. You will learn how to use our water resources and gain an insight into the relationship between humanity and the Earth's water resources. Courses involving expertise common to all specialisations are offered in the early part of the first semester. After that, you will gradually specialise using subjects tailored to your chosen specialisation. The need for professional Earth scientists has increased considerably during the last few years due to growing awareness of environmental issues and the increasing demands for natural resources. The language of instruction is English.

Entry requirements

_Academic requirements_ 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 mathematics; or * 90 credits in technology/engineering or physics and 30 credits in earth science or environmental science. _Language requirements_ 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. Detailed instructions on how to provide evidence of your English proficiency are available at [universityadmissions.se](https://www.universityadmissions.se/en/entry-requirements/english-language-requirements/).
