Within the Master's program, you can either specialize in geology, mineralogy/petrology or geophysics or choose different courses from the subject areas. Various excursions can be taken, for example to Egypt, the granulite mountains, the Pyrenees etc. 

A compulsory internship must be completed in the 3rd semester, further information can be found here.

The 4th semester is then entirely dedicated to the Master's thesis. 

Here you will find an overview of all current Master’s courses in Geoscience from the Prüfungsversion WiSe 2022/23.
The overview shows which courses are offered in which semester, which specializations they can be combined with, and which modules they belong to.

The blog “Digital Geography” is published several times a week on relevant topics in the fields of geodata, mapping, GIS, statistics and more. As the digitization of geography courses is increasing, the site is intended to be a place to go for free and comprehensive information on new topics in geospatial computing.

Also interesting: They post new jobs and internships for Geos every Friday.
