1. Semester - Introductory Phase
The introductory phase takes into account the different levels of knowledge and provides basic courses in the form of compulsory lectures and seminars as Consecutive Core Subjects in the disciplines of climatology, environmental physics, geosciences, limnogeology, prehistoric archaeology and vegetation history and archaeobotany.

2. Semester - Advanced Study Phase
In the advanced study phase the Consecutive Core Subjects are continued. Furthermore, computer-based analyses and visualization techniques of spatio-temporal data and processes are conveyed.

3. Semester - Individualisation Phase
The individualisation phase involves project work (Research Process II) as well as additional modules from the Additional Core Subjects with specialised lectures, exercises and field trips in the disciplines of marine environmental archives and regional environmental history.

4. Semester - Final Phase
In the final phase you work on your master thesis. If successful, the academic degree "Master of Science" (M. Sc.) is awarded.

You can find information about our international partner universities on our website.

You will be trained in interdisciplinary lectures, seminars, projects as well as in laboratory and field courses. Lecturers are leading experts in their respective fields of science and will provide you with information about up-to-date research questions. Thus, you participate in ongoing research by working on own projects while preparing your master thesis.
