- Description/content
- The Bachelor’s degree programme in Environmental Sciences offers an interdisciplinary education with a strong focus on the natural sciences. It provides in-depth training in core disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics and ecology, forming a solid foundation for understanding environmental systems and processes. Students also acquire analytical, statistical and digital competencies required for scientific analysis and research.
The programme closely integrates theory and practice, with a strong emphasis on experimental and empirical methods, including fieldwork, laboratory training and application-oriented projects with innovative project work in the future lab. This combination prepares students to understand, analyse and address complex environmental challenges in a global context.
Graduates have a solid background in natural sciences with an international perspective. Their knowledge of ecology, soil science, environmental chemistry and climate sciences qualifies them for positions in the public sector, in government agencies and administrations, in corporate environmental and sustainability management, in quality assurance, and in national and international environmental organisations. The practical orientation enables direct entry into science-related professional fields or the transition to a further Master's degree programme.
