Special features regarding teaching

The B.Sc. focuses on the broadest possible education in the geosciences, which enables an individual profile formation in the M.Sc. or PhD. The focus is on the teaching of fundamentals and their implementation in practice from a scientific point of view. The profile formation is discussed individually and not subject-related with a mentor and documented in a target agreement. There is the possibility to acquire job-specific qualifications in applied geology or to obtain a binational German-Argentinean double degree.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Uni Thessaloniki, Giechenland; Universität Wien, Österreich; Universidad Complutense Madrid, Spanien; Uni Oviedo, Spanien; Karls-Universität Prag, Tschechien; Technische Universität Istanbul, Türkei; Stockholm University, Schweden

Special features regarding the equipment
