What you will study

The degree program is characterized by the following features in particular, which set it apart from comparable degree programs in this combination: the use of natural science and social science perspectives to deal with current and future challenges in the relationship between society and the environment in a problem- and solution-oriented manner, the strong methodological orientation, in which students not only learn about qualitative and quantitative methods, but also put them into practice, the project and research orientation in the higher semesters with subject-specific and methodological consolidation, particularly in project-oriented teaching research.

Career pathways

The overarching qualification objective of the degree program is to prepare students both for their academic career and for their professional career in terms of subject matter and methodology. In addition to academic and methodological courses, this is ensured primarily through research-, project- and practice-oriented courses.
