Often we glaciologists here at Alfred-Wegener-Institut are asked where “Glaciology” can be studied at universities. In Germany, unfortunately, there is no MSc Glaciology. However, glaciology can be chosen as a key subject within MSc Geosciences university studies .

Internships

The section Glaciology offers internships in geosciences, physics, chemistry and related areas. You are welcome to directly send an application via email to the people listed below, according to the specific interest.

The application should contain a CV, a cover letter, relevant certificates, a list of courses attended during the studies and if available mention computer skills (programming languages and operating systems, like Windows and Unix) .
