Welcome to the study programme of Geography of Environmental Transformation!

The English-taught master’s programme centres on the transformations and challenges that coin modern environmental research, focussing on climate change, geomorphological processes, hydrological systems, soil dynamics and changes in biodiversity. Physical geography is the core discipline addressing environmental challenges with a marked emphasis on environment-society interaction. Hosted at the University of Bayreuth which ranks among the strongest research centres in this field, the programme provides a learning environment where cutting-edge research and advanced methodological approaches directly shape the curriculum.

Address current environmental challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective: 

The new M.Sc. programme "Geography of Environmental Transformation", formerly "Environmental Geography" at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, addresses students who want to

• obtain knowledge about the dynamics of environmental processes,
• acquire the analytical skills to assess human impacts on landforms and natural cycles,
• go into the field and make first-hand experiences with research
• and to benefit from a place of study that is strong in research, welcoming, and international.
