Overview
Study concepts
The Geoscience programme of TU Bergakademie Freiberg graduates will be specialists, but applicable in various contexts and successfully capable of cooperation.
Thus, students will be put into position to independently write and evaluate problems related to geoscience, environmental impact, and risk assessment studies.
The Master programme Geoscience offers two specializations. At the beginning the student has to choose between
- Environmental Geoscience and
- Tectonophysics of Orogeny.
Students of the specialization Environmental Geosciences will be enabled to work on complex environmental problems on own responsibility. The curriculum for each student will be adapted according to the prior knowledge of the candidates. The main focus lies on the interactions in the atmosphere (including climate and chemistry of atmosphere). The successful candidates will take over responsibility in administration, science, education, and research at universities and research centers.
Students of the specialization Tectonophysics of Orogeny will be enabled to work with methods of structural geology, geo-thermo chronology, geomorphology, remote sensing, and petrology. He will be able to analyze and interpret coupled processes of active and fossil orogenies by using innovative techniques: Focus of education and related research is on active orogenies and coupling processes from mantle to atmosphere.
