Teaching
The following programmes of study are offered in the field of ecology and environmental sciences:
Bachelor of Science
| Biology (taught in German) | Biology is the science of life, and this bachelor's programme is the ideal starting point for a career in this exciting field. |
| Geoecology (taught in German) | The programme of study Geoecology has a long tradition in Bayreuth and boasts an excellent student-to-instructor ratio. |
| Environmental Informatics (taught in German) | In the programme Environmental Informatics, a solid foundation in computer science is combined with applications in environmental science and ecosystem research. |
Master of Science
| Biodiversity & Ecology (taught in German) | Biodiversity & Ecology focuses on the origin, analysis, distribution, and functional significance of biological diversity with a view to genetics, classification, and ecosystems. The programme puts students in a position to study the effects of ecosystem changes and loss of biodiversity. |
| Environmental Chemistry (M.Sc.) (taught in English) | The English-taught master’s programme Environmental Chemistry is geared towards graduates of bachelor’s programmes who are interested in chemistry and environmental science and want to work internationally later on. |
| Geoecology (taught in German) | This master's programme builds on the bachelor's programme Geoecology . |
| Global Change Ecology (taught in English) | The international master's programme Global Change Ecology addresses one of the most crucial environmental issues of the 21st century. The programme focuses on the natural sciences, however a strong link to the social sciences is also maintained. |
| Molecular Ecology (taught in German) | The master's programme focuses on molecular adaptation mechanisms of plants, animals, and microorganisms in response to environmental factors as well as interdependency between organisms, especially at the molecular level. |
| Environmental Informatics (taught in German) | This programme combines advanced skills in computer science with modules in the field of environmental science. |
| Environmental Geography (M.Sc.) (taught in English) | This master’s programme is taught in English and addresses current environmental problems from an interdisciplinary perspective, analysing the interplay between environment and society in space and time. |
