Education
Our Geoscience & Remote Sensing department is involved in the following MSc programs:
MSc Earth, Climate and Technology:
Previously known as Applied Earth Sciences
At the MSc programme Earth, Climate and Technology, you study the part of the earth system that interacts strongly with society, namely the upper crust from a few kilometres depth up to the lower atmosphere. You will develop solutions to understand, monitor and predict processes within the earth system and to utilise earth’s natural resources in a responsible and sustainable way. The complete overview of the MSc Earth, Climate and Technology you can read here.
- GRS discipline: Climate & Weather
- GRS discipline: Earth Observation
As from September 2025, we aim to continue the BSc and MSc programmes Applied Earth Sciences under a new name: Earth, Climate and Technology.
The curriculum of the BSc Earth, Climate and technology will also be renewed to ensure better alignment with the societal need for sustainable solutions to global challenges such as climate change, the energy transition and availability of scarce resources. The curriculum of the MSc programme will remain the same
Are you going to apply for this programme? For the BSc programme, please register in Studielink under the previous Dutch name ‘Technische Aardwetenschappen’. For the master’s you will need to register under ‘Applied Earth Sciences.’ In case of the planned name change, after the start of the new academic year in September 2025, all enrolments will be updated to the new name: Earth, Climate and Technology.
MSc Environmental Engineering:
The task of environmental engineers is to develop solutions to cope with the effects of environmental change; to protect citizens against environmental hazards such as air, soil and water pollution, heatwaves, floods and droughts, and to safeguard water supply and sanitation. The challenge for humanity is to ensure a sustainable and healthy urban and natural environment, based on the principles of a circular economy.
