Further information provided by the department
Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme
The Department of Geosciences at the University of Tübingen offers a broad study offer in the field of geosciences and environmental sciences. The study offer includes three Bachelor's degree courses in Geosciences, Geoecology and Environmental Science. Based on the foundational scientific training in all bachelor's degree courses, there is a high transferability to one of the master's degree programmes offered at the location.
Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes
Following the Bachelor's degree programme, the three consecutive Master's degree courses Geoecology/Geoecology, Geosciences and Applied & Environmental Geoscience are offered, which allow individual thematic specialisation due to the extensive courses offered.
Special features regarding the international orientation
The international Applied & Environmental Geoscience degree programme was established at the department in 1999. Students from more than 70 countries have now successfully completed the degree programme. As part of the re-accreditation of the department's degree programmes in 2021, the language of instruction of all Master's courses was changed to English. Discussions are currently underway on the participation of the department in the planned international transdisciplinary master's programme in climate, environment and energy.

Special features regarding the equipment
Large parts of the department moved to the new building of the Geotechnical and Environmental Research Centre on the Natural Science Campus at the university. Equipment with state-of-the-art laboratories, e.g. cleanroom laboratories for isotopic geochemistry, core facility structural microscopy, GCMS, ICPMS, LCMS, microprobe, SEM, CT, mineralogical high-pressure laboratory, hydrogeological test and experimental field Lauswiesen; extensive hydrogeological and geotechnical field equipment.
Special features regarding research activities
ERC grants, several Emmy Noether junior research groups, BMBF collaborative projects, e.g. LURCH, Palmod, associated professorships with the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Alfred Wegener Institut, Centre for Environmental Research in Leipzig, training network group Train2Wind.
