The teaching and learning methods in EESMER are extremely practical. Even lectures are interactive and discursive due to the size of the degree programme and allow student-centred learning. Many lectures follow the "flipped classroom" structure, in which students do preparatory homework and then further deepen their understanding through discussing the topic on the basis of the homework. Tutorials consist of exercises with laboratory elements. To the extent possible, examples and empirical data from the geosciences are used to learn methods.

The all English-speaking faculty has a close international network or is associated with foreign universities; international research projects in which students can participate.
