Earth, Climate and Technology Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Overview

In energy, is is about how to use oil- and gas-based knowledge to safely engineer sites for geothermal energy, CO2 or H2 storage.

During the Earth, Climate and Technology programme of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) students will be trained as a creative and independent thinker; an engineer with the ability and skills to tackle complex problems. In the first year you will take specialised modules, do lab work and go on a geological excursion. In the second year you will write a thesis under the supervision of a professor. Your last exam will be a defence of your thesis.

The courses and assignments are compiled by specialists who excel in their own disciplines. Many of them have close ties with industry. The study environment is international, with English as the working language. In addition to following the training and teaching programme, students may test practical cases against the scientific knowledge developed by our professors and researchers.

As a small community, AES is flexible with plenty of scope for staff and student interaction. As the programmes are broad-based with a strong international character, graduates can find employment in many industrial and academic domains.

Master tracks

The MSc programme in Applied Earth Sciences offers various tracks which train students to make full use of the tools and techniques in their discipline:
