ETH - D-ERDW - Master in Earth Sciences

The Master’s Program in Earth Sciences at the ETH Zurich provides a high level and broad-based education and trains students in System Oriented Sciences at a high academic level. Students experience an increase in independence, in terms of subject choice, study structure, and the ability to participate in independent projects or an industrial internship. Beginning in the first year, the earth science education program includes excursions and field courses. This is an appealing aspect of a practically oriented education.
