Those who want to actively contribute to solving global challenges will find the perfect education in the Bachelor's programme in Environmental Systems Science (USW), for example. Students can choose from various specialisations – including geography, economics, natural sciences or technology – and thus specialise in topics such as climate change, resource management or environmental policy.
The aspect of sustainability is also reflected in the study of biology. Content such as biodiversity, the climate crisis and nature conservation are the focus of attention and prepare students to provide answers to global environmental problems.
These topics are continued in the master's programmes. For example, in the geosciences, which have a unique selling point with Applied Physical Geography and Mountain Research and Geosciences. The Master's programmes in the field of environmental system sciences are also taught in English and therefore have a strong international focus. They impart an understanding of the climate system as well as knowledge of economic and social contexts. The programmes show how our societies can successfully transform themselves towards zero emissions and climate resilience.
