The specific objective of the Master's Degree in Geophysics , fully taught in English, is to train master's doctors who have the ability to:

a) develop and apply mathematical and numerical models of geophysical and environmental systems and processes involving the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and interior of the Earth;
b) design and carry out geophysical observation and exploration of the planet Earth at different scales, with particular reference to geophysical surveys applied to the environment, cultural heritage, civil and infrastructural engineering, research and exploitation of natural resources;
c) analyse and design activities for the mitigation of natural and environmental risks, also aimed at intervention in the prevention and emergency phases, independently or in working groups together with professionals with other specializations.

Graduates in Geophysics have a high level of knowledge and critical understanding of the various aspects of geophysics and a solid methodological basis for the study and analysis of geophysical processes, which involve, often with complex interactions, the different compartments of the Earth. They have the basic knowledge of geosciences and the physical, mathematical and computer skills to deal with the development and application of data acquisition and processing methodologies and numerical simulation models. Therefore, graduates in Geophysics acquire an ability to update their knowledge and skills, in such a way as to face their professional activity, in any sector and in any role, always keeping in mind the leading edge of international scientific research and exploiting the most advanced methodologies and technologies to address the problems posed by the interaction of the planet Earth with the development of the human species and society. More specifically, through the choice of an appropriate study plan, the student can acquire advanced knowledge in one or more of the following fields:

geophysics of the solid Earth and seismology (dynamics of the lithosphere and the Earth's mantle, earthquakes);
geophysics of the fluid Earth (physics of the atmosphere; meteorology; climatology; physics of the continental and marine hydrosphere; physics of the cryosphere);
applied geophysics (planning and execution of geophysical campaigns; data processing; forward modelling; inversion and interpretation).

The knowledge and understanding skills indicated above are achieved through participation in lessons, exercises, individual study, in accordance with the individual study plans. The assessment of knowledge and understanding takes place through written and/or oral exams.
