The study consists of a Master's Thesis (60 ECTS) as well as mandatory and elective courses (60 ECTS). The number of elective courses varies in regards to topic(s) of study. You can either follow courses at The University Centre in Svalbard, elsewhere in Norway or abroad.

The Master`s program in Geosciences is aimed at providing students with a solid in-depth education covering, e.g., marine geosciences, structural geology, petrology, mineralogy, ore geology, sedimentology, quaternary geosciences, petroleum geosciences and geohazards

The research undertaken in geology at UiT Arctic University of Norway focuses mainly on fieldwork in Northern Norway, in climate and marine geology with research cruises in the polar areas. We have unique geology right on our doorstep, which offers a special understanding of the processes that continue to shape the earth. Close cooperation with e.g. industry, the public sector and other research institutions ensures that you as a M. Sc. student gain experience in fields relevant for the job market.
