About the programme

Geoecology (Geoökologie) is an interdisciplinary, research-focused Master's at the University of Tübingen. It teaches a quantitative understanding of how the lithosphere, soils, biosphere, water and atmosphere interact, plus the methods needed to tackle environmental science problems. You choose one of three specialisations: biogeoscience of the land surface, ecology and nature conservation, or environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. The programme has four compulsory modules (24 credits), eleven elective modules (66 credits) and the Master's thesis (30 credits), and an external internship can be recognised. It lasts four semesters and starts in winter or summer. Graduates can go on to a PhD or work in advising decision makers and companies, in ministries and agencies, or in environmental research and analysis.
