Abstract

University institutes in seismology and in geophysics now exist in many countries, where both research and education are carried on. Just as an example, I will quote below the present curriculum in seismology followed at the Seismological Institute at Uppsala, Sweden. Seismology here became a university subject with an established curriculum in 1961, but only on the postgraduate level. This means that students should first have a degree corresponding to B. Sc. or M. Sc. and then start with seismology which would lead to a degree corresponding to Ph. D.
