Here are more details about the program:
We focus on educating and training highly qualified leaders for science, environmental protection, political or economic decision making.
The elite study program is unique in Germany and at the forefront with respect to international efforts.
In this graduate program, courses are taught exclusively in English, encouraging internationalization amongst students and lecturers. It is a part of the Elite Network of Bavaria, an initiative of the Bavarian Ministry of the Sciences, research and the arts. Furthermore, Global Change Ecology combines the expertise of the Universities of Bayreuth, Augsburg and Würzburg, with that of Bavarian and international research institutions, as well as economic, administrative and international organizations.
Courses within Global Change Ecology are combined in modules on topics of "Environmental Change", "Ecological Change" and "Societal Change". Mandatory Internships and Science Schools compliment the curriculum alongside Method-base courses that support the three main fields of Global Change Ecology. Finally, a Master Thesis (duration 6 months) is to be completed on a topic of interest, related to Global Change Ecology. The completion of the Master of Science (M.Sc.) will take 2 years or 4 semesters.
