BSc Environmental Systems Science at Osnabrück University

Our environment is characterized by complex systems such as ecosystems (e.g. forests), human-environment systems (e.g. cities), economic systems (e.g. companies) or transport systems (e.g. railroads). Knowledge of the properties of individual system components does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the behavior of the system as a whole.

What you will study

In order to contribute to overcoming urgent ecological and social challenges, environmental systems science investigates changes in environmental systems (e.g. ecosystems, agriculture, production chains/logistics), associated problems and potential sustainable solutions as well as their implementation. Using a wide range of methods, systems scientists analyze the relationships within complex systems with the aim of explaining their behavior and being able to control their development.

Career pathways

The career prospects in business, public authorities and associations are very good and varied. Your knowledge of mathematics and computer science is currently in high demand on the job market.
