Earth Sciences
Are you passionate about the environment? The Master Earth Sciences provides you with the opportunity to specialise in your area of interest and gain practical experience through international field work. Examine the interaction between man and earth from different perspectives and use this interdisciplinary approach to develop solutions to real-world challenges. This Master’s programme is strongly linked to ecology and offers two tracks: Environmental Management (how to manage environments in which Earth, Nature and People all meet their needs) and Earth System Science (gain systemic insights on how the Earth, Nature and People develop and affect each other over time).
