Application: Entrance Requirements
Entrance requirements
The Master's programme in Environmental Sciences is a consecutive programme. This means that you need a relevant Bachelor's degree to be admitted. For better classification, so-called relevant bachelor's degrees have been defined. Applications with other degrees are also welcome – in these cases, the examination board will assess on an individual basis during the application process whether the subject-specific requirements for admission have been met. Relevant Bachelor degree courses of a German university are:
- Agricultural Sciences
- Biogeosciences
- Geoecology
- Ecosystem Management
- Environmentalgeosciences
- Environmental Management
- Environmental Natural Sciences
- Environmental Sciences
Applicants who hold a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences or Nutritional Sciences and Home Economics at the time of application must have passed six modules (or comparable modules) from the following list:
- Soil and Landscape Ecology
- Recycling and Waste Management
- Basics in Landscape Hydrology
- Agriculture and Environment
- Basics in Ecology and Soil Science
- Pollutants in the Environment
- Nature and Landscape Management
- Resource Utilisation, Environmental Protection and Policy
- Ecological Soil Functions
- Water Quality and Nutrient Fluxes
- Soilscapes of Middle Europe
- Agricultural Utilization of Waste
- Vegetation Ecology
- Business Environmental Management
- Nature Conservation Monitoring
Descriptions of these modules can be found in the catalogue of modules.
In the context of the application and admission process the Examination Board may recognise other final degrees as equivalent on a case-to-case basis.
