Climate Studies

The question is no longer if our climate will change, but how it will change and how we will adapt to these changes. As challenges crystallise, the demand for scientists able to understand and investigate them rises.

What will you study during this Master’s?

The MSc Climate Studies programme focuses on an improved understanding of climate change across the earth and its impact on ecosystems and society. It does not only cover the most important geophysical and biogeochemical processes involved in climate change (the mechanisms), but it also covers the socio-economic aspects of causes and effects, as well as adaptation and mitigation as the main categories of societal response. It combines and integrates the knowledge and expertise from three domains: Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences.
