Degree
programmes at the Department of Earth Science
Bachelordegreeprogrammes:
-
a 3 year program, a total of 180 ECTS with 90 ECTS of spesialisation
in the three different topics:
Bachelorprogram in Geology
(nor)
Bachelorprogram in Applied
Geophysics (nor)
Bachelorprogram in Solid
Earth Physics (nor)
Masterdegreeprogrammes:
The
Masterdegree are based on a bachelordegree (3 years of study).
- a 2 years program, earned
through a combination of course work with graded examinations
(60 ECTS) and independent research (60 ECTS).
There are offered 6 different spesialisations:
Masterprogram in Earth Science - marine
geoscience
Masterprogram in Earth Science - environmental
science
Masterprogram in Earth Science - quaternary
geology/palaeoclimate
Masterprogram in Earth Science - geodynamics
Masterprogram in Earth Science - petroleum
and
Masterprogram in Petroleumstechnology - reservoair geology
There
are 18 different topics
to focus on in the independent research and to combine with courses
under the 6 different spesialisations.
Most
Norwegian students complete a Master of Science-degree (Cand.scient.
degree) based on their baccalaureate degree (cand. mag. degree).
The Master study is normally completed within a two year period.
Master students are required to take 60 ECTS credits (60 stp)
chosen from a list of courses (200-299 or 300-399 (graduate-level))
designed to give the student a broad background in earth science,
and a specialisation in their topic relevant for their thesis.
An independent research project (master thesis) equivalent to
1 year of study (60 ECTS credits) is combined with the formal
course work.
Quota
Master of Science programs are offered in the disiplins; seismology,
petroleumsgeophysics and palaeomagnetism at the Department of
Earth Science. If interested take contact with Office
for foreign students for information about how to apply, applicationforms,
deadlines, and information about grants.
The
dr. scient. program (Ph.D. equivalent) is usually, but not necessarily,
a continuation of the research topic of the master thesis. Three
years of study are the minimum necessary to complete the dr.scient.
degree. Dr. scient. students are required to take 20 credits as
part of their degree. The subjects included in the dr.scient.
programme must be chosen from a list of advanced cources (higher
level 300 and 400-level) and are intended to broaden the student's
general background in earth science and related subjects. A doctoral
dissertation must be submitted to a specially appointed dr. scient.
committee for approval. Finally, the candidate must present the
results of their research at a public defence of the thesis.
NEW:
Marie
Curie Training Site,
PhD students enrolled in universities from member states of the
European Union are invited to apply for fellowships (3-12 months)
at the University of Bergen to conduct research and/or follow
courses at SNEHILO (Sedimentary processes and natural changes
in European high latitude oceans) as part of their PhD studies.

Overall
our courses are open to all students, but in some courses places
are limited, due to lack of capacity in the laboratory or field.
For these courses, 10 % of the places are reserved for exchange
students. Most of the lectures are held in norwegian, but if there
are exchange students enrolled to the course usually the lectures
are held in english. Most of the litterature are in english.
Contact
the student counsellor
for information about courses with limitations before you start
to plan your stay in Bergen.
Other
questions about studies at the Department of Earth science
may
be sent to the student
counsellor.
