10/20/2025What are Earth's origins? What is it made of? What raw materials does it hold and how can one find these valuable materials? Where can Earth's layers shift or where can caves collapse? How can water basins be found and used? Geoscientists examine the earth and use their knowledge to protect our nature and sustainably use the earth's raw resources. They can estimate the risk of earthquakes, landslides, deformation and caving probabilities. With their investigations and assessments they make sure large building measures like tunnels and dams are secure. Furthermore, they determine the origin and structure of fossils and mineral deposits and the properties of natural materials. The discovery and sustainable use of groundwater basins is another field of application. There is a special concentration for each of these topics, which then intensively work with each other. At RWTH these specializations are grouped into a single application-oriented course of study. It offers a broad natural and geo-science base as well as comprehensive methodological training. This includes careful training in the field and extraordinarily good options to gather lab experience relevant to career and research ? for example in geochemical analytics. This intensity is only comparable at a few other universities. You can choose a specialization in the last semesters of your Bachelor's studies. You will compile your own study profile from modules that you are free to select from a total of three different geoscientific profile areas. This lets you develop extensive knowledge in a specialized area, which can focus on geoengineering, materials science, or geology of mineral deposits.
