A Master’s programme in geophysics focused on understanding the Earth system and climate-related processes, as well as risks and natural resources. You will combine solid-earth, applied and computational methods to investigate the subsurface at multiple scales.
The Master’s programme in Geophysics for Earth and Climate Processes, Risks and Resources at the University of Padua is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the Earth system and its climate-related processes. This programme emphasizes the exploration of risks and natural resources through a combination of solid-earth science, applied geophysics, and computational methods, enabling students to investigate the subsurface across multiple scales.
The curriculum is structured around a common path that covers essential geophysical concepts and Earth-system fundamentals, followed by two elective pathways that allow for specialization in either computational methods or applications in cultural heritage and infrastructure.
Note: For detailed information regarding the thesis format and semester-by-semester timetable, please consult the programme handbook.
Applicants must hold a minimum of a three-year undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field. Considered disciplines include Geology, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Sciences. Additional entry requirements may involve assessment of the entry title and GPA.
Graduates of this programme will be well-equipped for diverse career opportunities in geophysics, environmental consulting, natural resource management, and cultural heritage preservation. The skills gained through this course will enable students to address pressing challenges related to Earth and climate processes, contributing to sustainable development and risk mitigation in various sectors.
