General Information on the Study of Hydrogeology at TUM
NEW MASTER PROGRAM IN HYDROGEOLOGY
Internationalization has become one of the strengths of our Chair. Academic staff from all over the world forms our team. This internationality provides us with international experiences, which are used for the training of our students and to clarify open research questions.
The great thing is that from the coming Winter Semester (2024/25) the Chair of Hydrogeology (TUM-HYD) offers a new Master program, which is directly related to the most important challenges in modern Hydrogeology, impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Ressources, improvement of Groundwater Quality in terms of organic and inorganic contaminats and Geothermal Groundwater Use .
The new international Master programm is based on 4 Field of Studies (FoS), Hydrogeology, Landslide, Engineering Geology, and Geothermal Technologies), of which 2 FoS must be selected for the Master's degree at TU (e.g. Hydrogeology & Geothermal Technology). The TUM-HYD team would be thrilled to welcome you at the Chair!
The Figure below will help you to select the different lectures according to your choice of „in-depth“ linked with Hydrogeology (in blue) and highlights possible links to offered basic and advanced topics in Geosciences.

Bachelor of Science - Geosciences
The bachelor's program offers a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary and research-related course of studies in the area of geosciences. It is based on a cooperation between Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and the Technical University of Munich, which together with further partners created the Munich GeoCenter (MGC).
Central to the program are the structure and development of planet Earth, as well as the processes that take place within and influence this dynamic system. Further content concerns the development of life as well as the effects that human interventions have on the environment. In the analysis of these themes, the methods of mathematics and the natural sciences play a central role. The program also deals with resource exploration and usage, the study and further development of existing materials, and risk assessment relating to natural hazards. Further topics handled during the course of study include biodiversity, climate change, the geochemical analysis of biogeochemical cycles, environmental pollution, environmental remediation, and satellite-based observational methods.
In addition to foundational competencies, the program allows students to start specializing in one of the core areas of the geosciences: geology, paleontology and geobiology, mineralogy, or geophysics.
