Housing

Accommodation at each university will be arranged or assisted through the corresponding university, but accommodation cannot be guaranteed at all three university locations. Housing information for each of the universities can be found here:

Note, that usually there is a shortage of suitable accommodation in Delft. To stand a chance of finding a suitable option in Delft, housing should be reserved at the earliest opportunity. Please, read carefully the information in the first link above. Note also, that in Aachen the housing options are limited, thus arranged housing by the university cannot be guaranteed.”

Living in Different Cities

The Joint Master’s Programme in Applied Geophysics offers students the opportunity to live and learn in three vibrant European cities. Living in different countries broadens the students‘ perspective through experiencing different cultures. Its enhanced student mobility therefore improves the students’ chances of pursuing careers in competitive global industries.

TU Delft

Delft, The Netherlands

TU Delft‘s principal strength is in geophysical methods for subsurface characterization and monitoring of subsurface processes. The city of Delft offers a wonderful blend of ancient canals lined with merchant houses and modern architecture.

ETH Zurich

Zurich, Switzerland

ETH Zurich‘s principal strength is in exploration, engineering and environmental geosciences as well as geothermal energy. Zurich has a natural beauty for all seasons – inviting for a swim in the lake in the summer and nearby ski resorts in the winter.

RWTH Aachen

Aachen, Germany

RWTH Aachen‘s principal strength is in geothermal exploration, numerical methods, engineering- and hydrogeophyscis, and basin modelling. The city of Aachen is situated on the rim of the Eifel mountains, a historical spa town and home of a world heritage cathedral.
