International Master Study Programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.)
Students who graduated or will graduate in summer 2013 as (at least) a Bachelor may apply at Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development, Germany, to be one of the 25 participants admitted for the two‐year study programme Global Change Management (M.Sc.). Classes will begin in September 2013.
The mission of GCM is to educate specialists who are able to cope with challenges of natural resource management under global change in an adaptive, proactive and precautionary manner. This will be achieved by developing goal‐oriented and science‐informed solutions that are ultimately directed towards sustainability. Essentially, students analyse global change in its causes and effects as well as socioeconomic and political framework conditions. The emphasis is on both, mitigation of and adaptation to the current global change impacts on ecosystems and societies. A diverse, practical and up‐to‐date study programme is implemented through close cooperation with renowned institutions of related research and practical background. These partner institutions are among others the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Germanwatch, Munich RE, the Naturschutzbund (NABU), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the von Thünen‐Institut (vTI). They share their expertise by offering own teaching modules integrated into the study programme.
Study language is English; for a few elective modules German. The study programme includes a project based research semester (in Germany or abroad) and visits to partner organisations. Although the university provides some financial support, students have to pay for the travel and accommodation costs themselves. The University has no tuition fees.
The programme is offered yearly. Commencing studies is only possible in autumn. For international applicants, we recommend applying by March 15th, but at the latest by 01st of May 2013. For German applicants, the deadline is 15th July 2013.
For this interesting, relevant and challenging programme, highly motivated applicants with a disposition to self‐study and group assignments are most welcome.
