Applied Geophysics
A programme offered by the
IDEA League partners
Delft Technical University,
ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen
University.

for admission requirements and application deadlines
IDEA LEAGUE a focused network of leading
European universities of science and technology
Why Applied Geophysics?
Benefits from three institutions
Live and learn in 3 European cities
Uppermost few kilometres of the Earth include essential
resources such as oil, minerals and groundwater
The Master of Science in Applied Geophysics is a two-year
programme offered by three of Europe‘s leading science
and technology institutions: Delft Technical University,
ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen University
TU Delft‘s principal strength is in hydrocarbon exploration
and management
Optimum management of these resources requires detailed subsurface knowledge
Major building projects, safe disposal of dangerous waste and natural hazard prevention rely on precise and
reliable underground models
Applied geophysics offers powerful tools for non-destructive testing of the Earth at scales ranging from
centimetres to kilometres
Programme builds on the strength and complementary
expertise of the three universities
Enhanced student mobility improves chances of pursuing
careers in competitive global industries
Broadens students‘ perspective through experiencing
different cultures
Provides excellent job opportunities
Delft offers a wonderful blend of ancient canals lined
with merchant houses and modern architecture
ETH Zürich‘s principal strength is in engineering and
environmental geosciences
Zürich has a natural beauty for all seasons - inviting for
a swim in the lake in the summer and nearby ski resorts
in the winter
RWTH Aachen‘s principal strength is in geothermal
exploration and basin modelling
Aachen is situated on the rim of the wooded Eifel and
Hautes Franges and offers both medieval and modern
flair
