Studieren und Forschen in Deutschland

German-Mexican Master’s Programme in the Field of Environmental Sciences

In July 2010, the bi-cultural Master’s Programme "Environment and Resources Management (ENREM)” will be matriculating new students for the third time. ENREM is jointly organized by the Cologne University of Applied Sciences and the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí in Mexico. The programme is aimed at young professionals from Germany, Mexico and other Latin American countries who already hold a first university degree and includes study phases both in Mexico and in Germany.

The Programme

The programme structure takes an interdisciplinary and integrative approach, not only addressing questions related to the natural and environmental sciences but also taking the economic, political and cultural dimensions of the Latin American cultural area into consideration.

For this reason, comprehensive political and socio-cultural relations are components of the course alongside the technical subject matter. The university modules will be supplemented both methodologically and in content by preparatory Spanish or German language courses, modules for intercultural training, inter-semester summer schools and interdisciplinary workshops on various topics.

The programme stretches over 25 months, the first two semesters of which are spent in Mexico and the third in Cologne. The fourth semester is reserved for field research in a Latin American country and for writing up the Master’s thesis. The course is held in Spanish during the Mexican study phase and in English during the study phase in Germany. Successful completion of the course results in a Master’s degree from each of the two universities.

A total of 30 scholarships are available: 10 for Mexican students, 10 for students from other Latin American countries and 10 for German students.

Who can participate?

The target group of this Master’s Programme are young professionals from the fields of Ecology, Resource Management or Sustainable Development who already have some work experience.

Sponsorship

The programme is jointly sponsored by the DAAD (with resources from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Mexican National Council for Science and Technology (CONACYT). 

German scholarship recipients are awarded a partial scholarship in the amount of approx. € 800 per person and month during the study phases abroad, plus a lump-sum allowance for flight expenses, as well as health, accident, and liability insurance.
