Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is my degree suitable as an admission requirement?
A previous degree programme in the natural sciences, mathematics, economics, Computing Science or in an environmental science subject or another suitable degree programme in which the aforementioned subjects form a focus of at least 90 credit points is suitable.
How is my application decided?
The formal decision on admission is made by the admission committee on the basis of a case-by-case examination. The procedure is regulated in the admissions regulations.
What is the aim of the degree programme and what are the career prospects?
In the Master's degree programme in Environmental Modelling, knowledge of methods and strategies for modelling and analysing environmental systems is taught. To this end, students learn a wide range of mathematical-scientific, Computing Science-related and statistical methods for modelling and data analysis, management and evaluation. These are used in environmental research, environmental monitoring and environmental precaution. Accordingly, possible professional fields of employment arise in companies that model environmental data for forecasting purposes, planning offices, statistical offices, ministries and authorities, as well as in the management of medium-sized companies. As a research-oriented degree programme, however, an acquired degree also qualifies students for further research work within the framework of a doctoral project.
Can I have courses from another Master's programme recognised?
Yes. In principle, a maximum of 30 CP from other Master's programmes can be recognised, but this explicitly excludes the Master's thesis. If two Master's degrees are being pursued, two independent theses must also be completed.
