About this programme

Processes in the Earth's environment occur within a complex framework. Population growth, climate change, land use as well as food production and food security all play a vital part. The programme in Earth and Climate System Science is both interdisciplinary and research-oriented. Aspects of natural sciences are linked to topics in the agricultural and economic sciences. You will acquire an understanding of the key processes in the Earth system, including human activities, and you will be able to assess the Earth system's current status through analysis of various indicators. Graduates are able to simulate Earth system components (e.g. the regional climate) particularly over the land surface with a focus on land use and land management as well as on agricultural activities. This fundamental knowledge is essential for end users and decision-makers in the era of climate change in all climate regions. The Master's programme in Earth and Climate System Science was conceived at the University of Hohenheim in order to accommodate such wide-ranging and complex demands. It is the only one of its kind in Germany. The study programme is coordinated and coupled with ongoing international programmes in the field of weather, climate and Earth system research. Graduates educated in these areas will become experts in developing concepts of sustainability aimed at protecting the Earth's environment and contributing to food security as well as steering the Earth's development and providing gu
