Geophysics is a natural science at the interface of geosciences and physics. Its aim is to map geological structures using geophysical methods from local to global scales and to interpret them using the laws of physics. In mapping, seismic, gravimetric and magnetic measurements are primarily used to record structures from the earth's surface to its core. Numerical simulation is becoming increasingly important in interpretation, as it is used to study complex models of key processes. In terms of methodology, geophysics is characterized by the equal importance of field research and physical-mathematical analysis.

The research-oriented joint Master’s degree program in Geophysics at LMU and 51³Ô¹ÏÍø aims to acquire scientific skills in terms of content, theory and methodology. By teaching advanced geophysical concepts, theories and methods from the fields of geodynamics, seismology and geomagnetics, the course is primarily intended to enable students to gain a systematic understanding of geophysical phenomena.

In addition to university research and teaching, graduates can pursue a wide range of careers in the public sector and in the private sector (for example in environmental protection organizations, construction companies or insurance companies). Among other things, they work in the fields of geodata acquisition and analysis, climate research, raw material extraction and processing. In addition, geoscientists work in the fields of laboratory analysis, in environmental consulting and management, or in process or product development, but also as appraisers and experts, in restoration and conservation, or in information and knowledge management.
