Elective Modules and Courses

Elective Modules may be freely chosen according to individual interests. Please note that these are container modules, each comprising several courses. 24 CP are required for the M.Sc. in Geosciences.

Students may select only one course per module. Therefore, some of the courses can be found in several modules.

W - only offered in the winter semester |  S  -  summer semester only
