With Earth Surface and Water, there is plenty of room to tailor the Master’s to your interest.

During my Bachelor’s in Earth Sciences in Utrecht, I was overwhelmed by the amount of subjects we learned. I was mainly interested in processes on the Earth’s surface, but I found it difficult to choose one subject. Luckily, with Earth Surface and Water, there is plenty of room to tailor the Master’s to your interest.

I choose the Geohazards and Earth Observation track, because all processes have their hazards, and earth observation can be applied in a wide range of subjects too. Moreover, in this track I develop a lot of skills in programming, modelling and different tools for earth observation, which is needed more and more in this field of work. Besides that, this Master’s has the freedom to choose courses from other tracks as well. This combination of in depth courses on processes and courses teaching general skills makes that I am able to study the Earth’s surface and all its aspects in detail and learn how to look at all these processes from different perspectives.
