The program Earth Structure and Dynamics links geological, geophysical, geochemical and geodetic observations made at the Earth's surface to physical processes operating within the planet.
The program can be seen as combining physics, chemistry, mathematics, geology and field studies to address how the Solid Earth works. It allows specialization in virtually any aspect of Solid Earth Science, ranging from theoretical geophysics to pure geology or geochemistry, with many students choosing a combined geology-geophysics focus.
The main subject areas consist of seismology, tectonophysics, mantle dynamics, structural geology, metamorphism, magmatic processes, basin evolution, hydrocarbon and mineral deposits, and the properties of Earth materials. Students examine processes ranging from slow geodynamic processes – such as mantle convection, plate tectonics, and mountain building – to those that can have an impact during a human lifetime. These include active crustal deformation, seismicity, and volcanism as well as subsidence, uplift, and seismicity induced by hydrocarbon production and geological storage of CO2.

Waarom aan de UU?
Utrecht is the national focal point of Earth Sciences in the Netherlands. At Utrecht University, research groups of both the Department of Physical Geography and the Department of Earth Sciences study different aspects of the physical Earth. The close proximity of applied research institutions, such as TNO Built Environment, Royal Netherlands Institute of Meteorology, or the Netherlands Institute for Space Research stimulates collaboration and strengthens the quality of research and education.
Studieprogramma
specialisaties
specialisatie Earth Materials
Courses address the physics and chemistry of rocks, minerals and melts, and how the behaviour of these materials controls geodynamic processes. Research ranges from unravelling orogenic and volcanic events to exploring Earth's early history, the origin of geological resources, mantle rheology and the response of crustal rocks to geological storage of CO2.
specialisatie Physics of the deep Earth and Planets
Courses address seismology, the dynamics of the mantle and lithosphere, geopotential fields, and applied geophysics, as well as state-of-the-art computational methods. Research covers the entire spectrum of geophysics from seismic tomography to geodynamic modelling of plate-tectonic processes and associated surface deformation and seismicity.
specialisatie Basins, Orogens and the Crust-Lithosphere System
The track Basins, Orogens and the Crust-Lithosphere System combines courses from other tracks to create a hybrid Geology-Geophysics track addressing the evolution of basins, orogens and the crust-lithosphere system in the context of plate tectonics.It is aimed at students seeking to combine observational and field-based geological analysis with quantitative aspects of geophysics. Courses and research primarily cover the fields between the Physics of the Deep Earth and the Earth Materials tracks.

Students can pursue a career in applied research in government institutes, consulting firms, or various industries.
Orientation for a career in a more applied direction can be gained from study profiles focusing on management/society (M-profile). The M-profiles are a supplement to the track chosen within the Master's programme and may also include components outside the Utrecht University Earth Sciences programmes. A Master's programme with M-profile is concluded with an earth science research project and an obligatory traineeship focusing on the chosen profile. Students can choose one of three M-profiles: Geo-Resources, Earth and Sustainability and Climate-KIC.The M-profile Geo-Resources is made up of a coherent series of courses focusing on knowledge, techniques, and problems regarding the extraction of natural resources including oil and gas.
The M-profile Earth and Sustainability is made up of a coherent series of courses oriented towards sustainable development. This provides a solid basis for a career within governmental organisations and consultancy firms that are active in the field of sustainable development.
The M-profile Climate-KIC focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship in the context of climate change and offers opportunities in the private sector in particular.
