Why Study Geophysics?
Want to understand earthquakes, see beneath the surface, and get to know our planet a little better? This guide is for you.
In Short
Geophysics is an exciting field that studies earthquakes, what lies beneath our feet, and the processes that shape our planet. 2026 marks the 100th year of this education in Türkiye, where it began at Istanbul University (today continuing at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa) — and a newly rebuilt, earthquake-resistant building is waiting for you.
🎓 Note: Around the world, some universities offer this field as “Geophysics” (a science), while others offer it as “Geophysical Engineering” (an independent engineering degree). This article focuses on Geophysical Engineering as taught in Türkiye.
📍 Who this is for: high-school graduates — and their families — choosing a degree program during the 2026 admissions season.
