Environmental Physics (PEP), M.Sc.

  • Nasa blue marble

    Study the earth system

    and the relationships between earth system components.

The focus of the environmental physics program at the University of Bremen lies on earth system sciences. Students learn to understand the complex relationships between atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, solid earth and climate. Two of the leading research institutions in the field of environmental research in Germany, the Institute for Environmental Physics (IUP) of the University of Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz-Center for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven (AWI), are jointly undertaking the further development, organization and teaching of the study program. Students are actively involved in education and research in both institutions.
