About this programme
Understanding the Geography of Global Change Humanity has become the major driver of regional and global change in the Anthropocene. While we face planetary constraints regarding resources, climate, and ecological resilience, rapid transformations are taking place on both local and planetary scales. The MSc Global Change Geography at Humboldt-Universität aims to provide a broad understanding of these processes from a perspective of physical geography. Master's students of the MSc Global Change Geography will gain profound knowledge of current research questions, approaches, and insights regarding the interactions between the environment and society in the context of global change. Furthermore, the programme aims at providing knowledge about scientific methods and findings from physical geography, particularly biogeography, climatology, hydrology, remote sensing, sustainability sciences, and geoinformation science. Students learn to integrate scientific theories, findings, and procedures in order to analyse and model human-environmental systems. In addition, a major goal of the programme is the specialisation of scientific key skills, including scientific writing and presenting, the analysis of primary literature, and special language skills in English. The skills for dealing with questions of global change and sustainable transformation are developed by applying a wide range of teaching and assessment modes such as classical classroom teaching, virtual lessons, research guide
