After your degree programme

After completing the Bachelor’s degree programme in Applied Earth Sciences you can transfer to one of the many follow-up Master’s degree programmes. Or you can enter the job market. Here too you have many possibilities, but one thing is certain: you need have no worries about finding a job, because almost all graduate civil engineers get a job within three months. Often they have already found their job during their studies, for instance through an internship.

Continuing your studies

Once you have completed the Bachelor’s degree programme in Applied Earth Sciences  you can choose from 18 following Master’s degree programmes at one of the three universities of technology in the Netherlands. In addition, selecting a bridging minor will qualify you for a whole range of further Master’s programmes. Would you like to go abroad to study further? With your BSc degree in your pocket, you have unlimited possibilities!

The following degree programmes at TU Delft provide the most direct transfer from your Bachelor’s: Applied Earth Sciences, Civil Engineering, System Engineering and Policy Analysis & Management.

Depending on the combination of modules that you choose, you can also transfer to Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Integrated Product Design, Media & Knowledge Engineering and Science Education & Communication.

Getting a job

Applied Earth Sciences students select an international field of work. Your future lies with big companies such as ExxonMobil, Shell, Rio Tinto, DSM, investment companies, engineering and consultancy firms and research institutes.

The following jobs are among the options you can choose from:

• Engineer
• Consultant
• Geophysicist
• Project Manager
• Business Analyst
• Field Engineer

Continuing your studies

You can also specialise further, or expand your field of studies. Are you interested in a post-Master’s degree programme? Popular post-Master’s programmes for Applied earth Sciences include:

• Master of Petroleum Business Engineering

Obtaining your doctorate and doing research

Are you more interested in research? Then you can also work in the academic/scientific sector of Applied Earth Sciences. This generally begins with a PhD research project, which may or may not be in the same area as your Master’s thesis. Research at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Earth Sciences is divided into five faculty research themes:

• Construction
• Earth
• Shallow Subsurface
• Water
• Traffic and Transport
