About this programme

The programme focusses on geoscientific aspects of climate, resources and technologies in the marine environment. These issues are under investigation at the leading German marine research institutions in Bremen and Bremerhaven. The multidisciplinary nature of these research fields as well as the application of up-to-date scientific methods, instruments and computing strongly influence teaching methods and topics. Research in marine geosciences has a long tradition in Bremen and constitutes the main focus at the Faculty of Geosciences of the University of Bremen. All aspects of marine geosciences are covered, from sedimentology to petrology, from geophysics to biogeochemistry, from basic research to applied technology. With the establishment of MARUM, the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, the University of Bremen has created a leading international institute for planning and carrying out interdisciplinary marine science. Studies within MARUM focus on the three research areas "Ocean and Climate", "Geosphere-Biosphere Interactions" and "Sediment Dynamics". The multidisciplinary nature of marine geoscientific research and the application of up-to-date scientific instruments play an important role in teaching methods and topics. The international, postgraduate study programme in Marine Geosciences is designed to research related topics, placing particular emphasis on the specialities of the Bremen department. The programme comprises skills and methods that enable graduate
