Geosciences (Bachelor of Science)

About

The first four semesters of the bachelors programme are devoted to the scientific and earth science principles required for the rest of the course. These include on the one hand physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, and on the other the traditionalâ€ earth sciences of geology, mineralogy and soil science. These disciplines form the basis for understanding the complex interrelations and processes in system earthâ€. Afterwards, students round off the knowledge they have acquired and apply it to specific problems in earth sciences. In the third year students specialize by choosing core areas for more intensive scientific study. These subjects are mainly modular and can be chosen freely.

To study Geosciences, you should have good observation and concentration skills, enthusiasm for conducting experiments and for working in a laboratory, the ability to work in a team, an interest in technical matters, as well as a good background in science. A certain level of physical fitness is needed for the participation in modules involving field trips and excursions.
