This Master's programme provides you with in-depth knowledge in the subjects of ecosystem science and physical geography. It is a broad programme in terms of subjects that cover greenhouse gases, climate, environment, soil, vegetation, water, landforms and global change, amongst other things. There are several options for specialisation.
During your studies, you can choose to focus on areas such as environmental and climate systems, global environmental issues and global cycles, environmental analysis methods, ecosystem modelling, as well as GIS or remote sensing with an environmental orientation. The programme also equips you with practical tools for mapping, analysis, modelling, planning, and evaluation.
The proportion of teacher-led instruction is high. The programme includes lectures, laboratory work, excursions, field studies, seminars, and independent projects.
