1 Master s Programs at the Council Division (Fachbereich) V Geosciences Thursday, December 1 st, 2016, 12.15H, Theatersaal Table of Content Part I (lecture hall) - Your motivation for doing a GIUZ - Master s Program at the UZH Council Division V - Questions Part II (outside, one level above the Cafeteria Brunnenhof) - Poster session (Presentation available soon at 1

2 Master s at the UZH Council Division V - Why study at MNF? Goals of this presentation How do I choose a fitting Masters program?? Masters in the same MNF?? Masters in the same subject somewhere else in the world? Masters in another or somewhere else?? 2

3 Why do a Master at UZH MNF? because that is what logically follows the Bachelor s degree? because I already like Zurich? because my friends do it too? Carefully assess your motivation! Do I want need to do a Master? Why in the same other discipline field? What else is of interest to me? Why at MNF? Why in Zurich? Why not study abroad? Why not first get practical experience (i.e., internship)? 3

4 Why have an advanced Master s degree? Bachelor s degree: general education ( Studium = Bildung ) broad coverage of a discipline (many fields) degree not aimed at professional qualification Master s degree: requirement for additional advanced degrees! Teaching Diploma for Upper Secondary Education! Ph.D. opportunity for specialization in a field ( Studium = vertiefte Bildung ) advanced level of scientific knowledge applicable for many jobs What will be different? You want to be curious have a passion for reading writing thinking discussing actively engage in academic work! We offer you how to learn teach yourself (i.e., self-reliance) how to think critically and be self-critical how to find creative solutions 4

5 Why study here? Master s Programs at the UZH Council Division V Masters in Geography with majors in various fields Specialized Master s in Geography in various fields Masters in Earth System Science Specialized Master s Program in Environmental Sciences Master Thesis with emphasis in Science Education 5

6 Master s Program in Geography further specializations or further general studies offers all thematic areas of geography! i.e., GIScience human physical Remote Sensing emphasizes inter- & transdisciplinary thinking offers deeper content of various fields offers advanced methods from various fields Training for Teaching Diploma in Upper Secondary Education (Lehrdiplom) Master s Program in Geography Core curriculum core courses and field trips Masters thesis and examination Four majors (Vertiefungen) " GIScience " Human Geography " Physical Geography " Remote Sensing 6

7 Specialized Master s degree in Geography Four study programs (Spezialisierungen) " Geographies of Global Change (HG+) " GIScience " Physical Geography " Remote Sensing Why a Specialized Master s program? PhD?! enjoy research?! scientific curiosity?! Entrance Requirements: Spec. MSc # very good BSc grade # high motivation for academic/scientific work # additional req. depending on specialisation 7
