M.Sc. Environmental PhysicsUniversität Bremen

The Master Programme in Environmental Physics focuses on educating students about the complex relationships between the atmosphere, hydrosphere (ocean), cryosphere (ice region), solid earth (land), and climate. Key study objectives include gaining experience in applying experimental methods relevant to environmental physics at an advanced level, performing numerical data analysis using supercomputers, and interpreting data through sophisticated models.

This Master Programme provides students with the physical, mathematical, and chemical principles used in modern research at participating institutes like IUP (Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Bremen) and AWI (Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven). The program aims to develop skills and problem-solving capabilities for subsequent use in experimental design and project development relevant to future research and employment.

The Master Programme in Environmental Physics offers:

• A Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Environmental Physics with 120 credit points, achievable after 2 years.
• A German Master of Science with a specialization in Environmental Physics within Physics.
• English as the medium of instruction.
• High-quality teaching and excellent research opportunities.
• The ability to specialize according to personal interests through a broad selection of optional courses.
• The communication of theoretical knowledge combined with practical skills.

Graduates of this Master Programme are qualified for:

• Admission to doctoral studies at IUP, AWI, or other institutions.
• Conducting research at universities, research centers, or authorities.
• Worldwide employment opportunities in agencies or companies involved with climate, weather, or energy-related topics, particularly in remote sensing and Earth observation.
• Working in the energy sector or in the aviation and space industry, with a focus on remote sensing.
• Employment in relevant government departments, governmental, or non-governmental organizations.
