Recent global developments in fields such as climatology and climate change, population distribution, land use, biological systems and ecosystems, as well as resource development and use by industry and society, are creating new and increased responsibilities in the complex interaction of society and the environment.

Graduates of this Master’s programme will be ready to take on these responsiblities. They will be capable of measuring, modelling and predicting planetary-scale changes and communicating outcomes to the public, policy makers and stakeholders in business and industry.

The multidisciplinary skills that you will develop in this Master's course will be your best asset not only in the field of research but also in organizations that are directly or indirectly involved in these areas, such as academic institutions, state or local authorities, national or international organizations, industrial companies and consultancies.

Graduates may find employment in areas ranging from public relations to consulting work in politics and business, the media, analytical studies of system relationships as well as environmental research and development. The skills you acquire, particularly through the completion of the Master’s thesis, provide a strong foundation for PhD research.
