In 2019-2020, we will offer a second-year master program entirely taught in

English. Its name: International master in solid Earth Science.

The Master course is for one year, from September to June, and is set up at the
second year of the European Master level. It will consist of the courses taught in
the Fall Term, between September and December, and six months of research, from
January to June. Courses will be in several disciplines of geophysics,
geochemistry, geology and related fields. Each course will consist of strong
theoretical training and computing and analytical skills. Creative thinking and
complex problem solving will be the main focus of the teaching. The research
project will be carried out at IPGP as well as in industry partners. Each student
will receive a scholarship.

The objective of this Master course is to train top-level geoscientists, who will
continue their study for a PhD either at IPGP or elsehwere, in academia or in
industry. Several Ph.D. fellowships will be available for the graduating students.

The courses will be taught in English by internationally renowned scientists who

are actively engaged in research from IPGP and industrial partners.

Requirements: Minimum four years of undergraduate/master’s degree, European M1

level or USA/Assian B4 (senior) eqquivalent, in (geo-) physics, (geo-) chemistry,
geology, computer science, mathematics and/or engineering. Fluency in English is
required.

Teaching language: English

This second year master program is entirely taught in English: it welcomes every
year a dozen of students coming from all over the world, having a solid background
in fundamental sciences.

The International Master in Solid Earth Sciences aims to train high-level

geoscientists, who will continue their study for a PhD either at IPGP or elsewhere,
in an academic or industrial context.
