The International Masters Programme in Geophysics is offered jointly by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and Technical University Munich (two of Germany's elite universities) with specialisation possible in either Geodynamics, Seismology or Paleo- and Geomagnetism. As an international programme, the language of instruction would be English. With a strong focus on modelling and simulation, a sound background in mathematics and physics is expected from our applicants. Courses in the international masters programme in Geophysics are organised in mandatory and elective modules. Elective modules allow students to specialise in certain areas of Geophysics and to peek into neighbouring disciplines such as e.g. Geology or Geodesy.

More programs from the university

You can add a master's degree to your first undergraduate degree (e.g. bachelor's degree or State Examination) if you want to expand or specialize your knowledge.  An increasing number are now in English — from American History to Physics. A master's degree program at LMU usually takes two years and is made up of 120 ECTS points. 

In addition to an undergraduate degree, further qualification requirements may be necessary, which are detailed in the examination regulations for each master's degree.
There are consecutive master's degree programs that build on knowledge from undergraduate studies in the same subject. In other master's degree programs, the requirements can be met with different academic degrees, because they require certain fundamentals that are not restricted to a single subject area. Weiterbildende Master (career-integrated master's degree programs) also require relevant professional experience. Students in these programs are usually required to pay additional tuition fees.
