We are an institute with interdisciplinary working groups in the field of environmental sciences and geography with national and international networking to promote the next generation of academics and teachers.
This is made possible by intensive cooperation with university and non-university institutions, funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with the DFG graduate college, exchange programs with ERASMUS partner schools and many other collaborations. We offer a variety of specialization options according to our methodological and thematic focus, various components for the internationalization of the study system and a first-class graduate education.
In the field of environmental sciences, the institute is responsible for the Bachelor's and Master's degree in geoecology (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) as well as the English-language Master's degree in Climate, Earth, Water, Sustainability (CLEWS). In the area of teacher training, the institute is responsible for the Bachelor's and Master's degree in geography (B.Ed. and M.Ed.).
In the Bachelor's and Master's programs in geoecology, research and application-oriented fundamentals are taught through interdisciplinary teaching of the environmental sciences. Specialist knowledge, skills and methods for a profound understanding of human-environmental systems as well as the water, material and natural balance of complex ecosystems are covered.
