Admission, Application & Finance
As from academic year 2026, we aim to continue the MSc programme Applied Earth Sciences under a new name: Earth, Climate and Technology. The curriculum of the programme remains the same.
When applying for this programme in Studielink, you'll still have to enrol for Applied Earth Sciences. In case of the planned name change, after the start of the academic year in September 2026, all enrolments will be updated to the new name: Earth, Climate and Technology.
