Academic appointments and fields of activity
What do you actually become later on if you study environmental sciences? As an environmental scientist, you are predestined for a very broad spectrum of activities - if you look at the structure of the degree programme, you will already notice how versatile the course is. That's why the academic appointments and fields of activity are also very diverse. There are also corresponding career suggestions as well as a "career portal" from the university via StudIP.
You can also find other possibly less classic, but possible and very interesting professional fields via the career counselling service.

The Bachelor's degree programme in Environmental Sciences at the University of Oldenburg opens the door to various professional fields after graduation and also offers the opportunity to continue your studies in a postgraduate Master's programme.
A Bachelor's degree programme is the first stage of an education that continues with further studies or in-company training. With each stage, new skills are developed and new qualifications acquired and individual objectives can be adapted.
By combining current scientific problems in environmental research with social tasks to solve environmental problems, the Environmental Sciences degree programme prepares students optimally for the corresponding professional academic challenges. Interdisciplinary practical and theoretical knowledge of all mathematical and scientific disciplines provides the basis for this. Elective options offer the opportunity to acquire an individual qualification profile. The focus is on ecosystems both on land and in the sea with their development in space and time.

The university writes:
The degree programme aims to provide graduates with an entry into challenging and successful academic appointments. Some professional fields are directly tangible today, while others are developing dynamically and will be characterised by individual paths. It is foreseeable that students will start their careers in positions in the fields of environmental protection, environmental planning and environmental monitoring
- Nature conservation and landscape planning as well as intervention planning,
- Renaturalisation of ecosystems and management of protected areas,
- soil and water protection,
- Monitoring in surveillance programmes (e.g. EU Water Framework Directive),
- Environmental informatics for environmental planning.
The comparatively comprehensive, fundamental teaching of basic principles and methods for analysing environmental systems qualifies students for positions that are constantly opening up in a professional market that continues to focus on environmental aspects. The broad education provided by the Bachelor's degree programme in Environmental Sciences offers good opportunities to open up niche professional fields.
