- Description/content
- Our MSc programme provides in-depth knowledge of content-related and conceptual problems in the geosciences. Based on geoscientific and other scientific principles, the Master's degree programme teaches further fundamental and practical skills. The Master's degree programme is designed to provide the skills required for independent academic work in a subsequent postgraduate degree as well as advanced specialist knowledge for activities in the fields of industry, business, administration, research and teaching. To realise these goals, students acquire:
• sound scientific knowledge
• skills in applying the content they have learnt
• competence in linking field-oriented practice and analytical laboratory methods with the associated data evaluation and interpretation
• awareness of processes over different time and spatial scales
• skills in developing solution strategies for the sustainable use of georesources
• ability to carry out independent scientific work and to communicate the gained knowledge
A large variety of teaching units (modules) allows students to develop their own fields of interest. We offer the flexibility and mobility necessary in today's fast-changing job market. Our broad curriculum strives to keep in touch with current issues in geoscientific research and technology as well as the environmental challenges of our developing society.
