Course Description
The program has a duration of three semesters, divided into two academic periods offered in Santiago de Chile and one semester for the elaboration of the thesis. The two academic periods consist of mandatory and elective courses, which must be approved before starting the thesis. In the third semester, the thesis must be written.
The compulsory modules are taught by professors from Heidelberg University and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC). The elective courses are part of the programs offered by the UC. The classes are taught in Spanish or English. If desired, participants can enroll in German courses, free of charge.
The program offers a limited number of scholarships for students in the program to cover a one-semester stay at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. During this stay, students can attend courses and colloquia offered by the Faculty of Geosciences and have access to the library and archives of the University of Heidelberg to prepare their thesis, in addition to maintaining a face-to-face exchange with their guiding professors.
