About this programme

The Master's programme in "Earth Sciences and Global Change" is an interdisciplinary programme that deals with the complex interactions between the Earth's geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere as well as the global changes caused by natural processes and human activities. At a time when climate change and the loss of natural resources and biodiversity are among the most pressing challenges, this degree programme offers you a solid scientific basis for understanding these problems, grasping opportunities and developing solutions. In this research-oriented Master's degree programme, you will acquire solid specialist knowledge and methodological skills in the field of geosciences. The aim is to deepen your understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes and their interactions in the Earth system. You will learn how geological processes shape the landscape, define aquatic systems and influence the climate. This knowledge is crucial for analysing the causes and effects of global changes on different spatial and temporal scales. The Master's degree programme is designed to provide the skills required for independent academic work in preparation for a subsequent PhD project as well as advanced specialist knowledge required to work in industry, business, administration, research and teaching. To realise these goals, students acquire: competence in linking field-oriented practice and analytical laboratory methods with the associated data evaluation and interpr
