You will become familiar with both the natural sciences and the social sciences approach to sustainability. You will form research teams and work on the confrontation and integration of knowledge and insights.Each specialisation track pays attention to the theoretical background, appropriate research methodology, and intervention methods of a specialised field within the framework of sustainable development. You can deepen that basis by attending further optional courses from the curriculum. For your optional courses you may choose additional courses from your own specialisation track or courses that are part of other tracks.

This will be clearly stated in the ‘letter of admission’ which is based on your academic background (BA) in social or natural sciences. Some specialised courses cannot be attended without previous academic knowledge in that particular subject area.The programme culminates in a master’s thesis. A research traineeship may be part of the final thesis project. After the thesis has been completed, you will present and defend your research results to faculty, staff, and students.
