Overview
Contents
The Bachelor's programme Environment and Global Change deals with the major environmental issues of our time. How do we conserve resources such as water, soil and energy? How do we use them intelligently and sustainably? How do we shape agriculture in an environmentally friendly and forward-looking way? How do we produce food, drinking water, fibres, secondary raw materials and energy for a growing world population?
The degree programme has a natural science focus and is interdisciplinary, which means that students deal with issues from different disciplines. The programme includes subjects such as chemistry, mathematics and statistics, physics, biology, microbiology, ecology, hydrology and soil science. Students develop skills to develop and implement concepts for the sustainable use of resources.
Agriculture plays an important role in this. As the largest user of the land surface, it is of crucial importance for the sustainable use and provision of resources. The broad focus of the degree programme offers the best conditions for a holistic view of sustainability aspects in the field of agriculture - nutrition - environment.
Subject-specific prerequisites
In addition to the formal entry requirements (see application), we expect an interest in natural sciences, a certain down-to-earth attitude and an interest in technological issues. Basic knowledge of mathematics, chemistry and biology is advantageous. JLU offers preliminary courses in which you can refresh your knowledge before starting your studies. This way you are optimally prepared for your studies.
