LMU and the Munich University of Technology are members of the consortium "Master of Materials Science Powered by Large Scale Facilities" (MaMaSELF), a two-year European master's programme within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus programme. The MaMaSELF consortium comprises 6 European universities in Germany, France, Italy and Poland. By integrating teaching and research, the universities of the consortium contribute to this unique programme with their various specialisations. At LMU, MaMaSELF students take courses in the Master's degree in "Geomaterials and Geochemistry".

The "Central Facility for Electron Microscopy" provides modern analytical electron microscopes for geomaterial-based and geobiological teaching and research at the Munich GeoCentre. The microscopes are used in exercises with small groups and for final theses both in the "Geosciences" Bachelor's degree programme and in the Master’s degree programmes, in particular in the Master's degree courses in "Geomaterials and Geochemistry" and "Geobiology & Paleobiology". Students have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with modern electron microscopy techniques.

Numerous EU-wide projects in the field of geosciences (networking); Broad thematic spectrum bridging from geosciences to geography, such as landscape evolution, sediment transport and global material cycles; Numerous projects in the field of simulation of geoprocesses and supercomputing; Opportunity to participate in field experiments, for example in seismically active regions, volcanoes or in sea stations and coral reefs; Training on a pool of geophysical instruments in the field.
