Studying climate protection in Germany

University of Hohenheim: Earth and Climate System Science (Master)

Study in an interdisciplinary and research-oriented environment and develop sustainable approaches to protecting the planet: The masters programme Earth and Climate System Science at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart addresses current issues relating to the climate crisis and uses simulations with climate, agricultural and economic models as well as the possibility of field measurements.

University of Bayreuth: Environment, Climate Change and Health (Master)

“The occurrence and frequency of environment- and climate-related diseases affecting animals and humans is increasing”, says Professor Eckhard Nagel, programme coordinator of this study programme. This Bayreuth study programme considers the need for transformation in numerous sectors and empowers students to champion health, economic and social stability, and an intact ecosystem.

University of Potsdam: Climate, Earth, Water, Sustainability (Master)

Berlin’s neighbouring city Potsdam is home to several university and non-university institutes conducting research into climate change. This also benefits students of the masters programme Climate, Earth, Water, Sustainability with a wide range of research projects. They receive interdisciplinary training to become experts who address the consequences of global warming in research, politics and civil society on a scientific basis.

Bingen University of Applied Sciences: Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation (Bachelor)

The dual study programme in Bingen am Rhein focuses on natural sciences, with an emphasis on climatology, ecology and environmental protection. During the semester, students can further specialise in areas such as climate scenarios and models, waste disposal or climate protection in agriculture.

Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences: Climate Change Management (Master)

Students at this Bavarian University of Applied Sciences are actively involved during their Masters in developing strategies to mitigate global warming, for example by phasing out fossil fuels or encouraging climate-friendly land use. There is also a focus on the consequences of climate change, for example through landscape planning in flood plains or reforestation with more heat-resistant plant species.
