Program description
To provide a comprehensive understanding of the Earth, the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) program combines geochemistry, geophysics, geology, and oceanography with environmental and data science. Students apply their knowledge to real-world issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, and the responsible and sustainable use of natural resources such as water, energy, and all other raw materials required by the high-tech industry. Collaboration with the life and social sciences is strongly encouraged.
EES graduates are well-prepared for careers in academia, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations.
Participate in laboratory courses, field camps, excursions, a research cruise, and research projects to gain interactive classroom insights as well as hands-on experience.
Learn how to make our planet a better place and our future more sustainable in a program that has consistently been ranked as Germany's top geoscience program.
Six semesters of study totaling 180 ECTS credit points comprise the three-year undergraduate program (CP). The 3C-Model, an innovative and student-centered modularization scheme, groups the disciplinary content of the three study years according to overarching themes.
