About the programme

Geographical Environmental Research is a research-oriented MSc at Freie Universität Berlin's Institute of Geographical Sciences. It takes 4 semesters, starts in the winter semester, and is taught in English and German. Building on your Bachelor's, you focus on scientific theories, models and methods for spatial structures and processes in the development of natural and cultural landscapes, and on the water cycle in natural and human-influenced systems. Project work is central: on your own and in groups, you learn to plan, carry out and complete geographic projects, from developing the research question and choosing methods and tools to documenting and presenting results, with a national or international regional focus. It suits graduates in geosciences with a background in geography.
