Announcement of the master course program “Experimental Geosciences”

Dear Bachelor Students, 

Bayerisches Geoinstitut (BGI), University of Bayreuth, Germany is the worldwide leading institute for studying the physical and chemical properties of the Earth and planetary materials by means of advanced experimental, analytical and numerical techniques to understand the structure, dynamics and evolution of the Earth's interior and other terrestrial planets. Although it is relatively young (established in 1986), we 

have made a major contribution in our field. Our research activity is indicated by about 100 papers per year in ISI journals, and more than 40 Nature and Science papers for the last 15 years. Details of facilities, scientists, and current research at BGI are found at http://www.bgi.uni-bayreuth.de. 

We are now looking for talented students for our master course program 

"Experimental Geoscience" from all over the world http://www.bgi.unibayreuth.de/~master. 

Our master program is designed to train a young student for the research in this field from the beginning. Basic understanding of mathematics, physics and chemistry are prerequisite for admission for this program. All 

educational programs are given in English, and therefore adequate skills in English communication are required. Knowledge of German is not required for this program, but students are encouraged to learn it for daily life. Living costs of the students are supported by the institute. 

Please see the leaflet for details of this program and for admission. If you have any 

question, please contact the following staff members: 

 Dr. Gerd Steinle-Neumann, coordinator (g.steinle-neumann@uni-bayreuth.de) 

Prof. Dr. Tomoo Katsura, Director (tomo.katsura@uni-bayreuth.de)
