Examples of Master's projects at GEO
Here you will find examples master’s projects for those starting the master’s program in earth science at UiB. You can also visit the website of each of our research groups to see past and ongoing projects (links below). Many of the previous projects still have highly relevant research topics and supervisors might be able to create a similar project for you.
Main content
The Master's programme in Earth Sciences has been divided into five research topics: climate, environment, resources, energy og geohazards. All our master’s projects fall under one or more of these themes, and many of our research groups collaborate across these themes. Therefore, you will experience a large, interdisciplinary community as a student at GEO.Depending on which project and supervisor you end up working with you will become part of one of our research groups: Geodynamics and basin studies, Geochemistry and geobiology, Geophysics and Qauternary geology and paleoclimate.
The Master’s program consists of two components: a course part totaling 60 credits and the master’s project and thesis of 60 credits. The total workload for the master’s program is 120 credits, equivalent to two years of study. You start by finding your project and supervisor, have a look below on how to get started!
