Master of Science [M.S] [Earth Science - Hydrology - Hydrogeology] From Uppsala University

Do you want to take part in the management of our water? Or study how to meet water-related disasters? Or perhaps get in-depth knowledge and understanding of how water flow at Earth surface of in the ground? Are you interested in water chemistry and its interplay with the environment??

The Master Programme in from focuses on processes relating to water at or near the Earth?s surface and the water-human interaction. The programme combines advanced courses on fundamental hydrological processes, and the modelling of groundwater and surface water with hydrochemistry and field methods. It also gives a good knowledge in management of water resources in our society.

The Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University is one of the most comprehensive academic departments of its kind in Europe. Research in Earth Science focuses on subjects that range from the Earth?s core to the atmosphere, on scales from sub-microscopic minerals and fossils to the formation of mountains and oceans, and in time from the formation of the Earth to the processes currently reshaping the planet.

Career

The Master Programme in Earth Science, specialising in Hydrology/Hydrogeology, prepares you with skills and knowledge for a career a professional hydrologist, hydrogeologist within private or governmental organisations. The programme also provides good opportunities for a postgraduate education with subsequent research careers. Employment opportunities are found as a hydrologist/geohydrologist in environmental and natural resource management and in academia.
