About the Programme

The international Master Program Applied Environmental Geoscience (AEG) was introduced at the Faculty of Geosciences, Center for Applied Geoscience at the University of Tübingen in 1999.
The main focus of AEG is the quantitative analysis and evaluation of environmental problems in order to derive ecologically and economically acceptable solutions based on a multi-disciplinary approach and the application of modern technologies. The 2-year-program addresses excellent students who wish to acquire a well-founded scientific knowledge enabling them to approach complex problems in environmental sciences from a multi-disciplinary angle and to gain an internationally recognized high level of qualification. The program is taught by internationally renowned faculty members as well as by guest lecturers from other academic institutions or companies who are specialists in their fields. All courses are taught in English.
Course modules are: Geology and Hydrogeology, Environmental Modelling and Geoinformatics, Hydrogeochemistry and Environmental Microbiology, Engineering Geology and Geophysics, Environmental Impact and Soil, Water, Climate.
