Study programme

In this specialisation, you will dive into ecological questions and issues and connect scientific findings to societal implications or environmental policies. You will be trained to become an environmental expert, analysing the human impact on nature. You will learn to quantify and unravel the effects of stressors - like climate change or chemical pollution and connect scientific findings to sustainability solutions. 

One year of your Master’s is completely dedicated to scientific or applied research. You’ll learn to design, perform and evaluate your own research project, at one of the departments in the institute or elsewhere. A research project is typically focused on a topical question related to environmental sustainability (e.g., how can we make agriculture more sustainable) and usually includes a strong data analysis component.
