About the Program

Geography involves the examination of spaces with reference to their human-environment relations and the analysis of the social, cultural, political, environmental and economic interactions in the context of sustainable development. At the beginning of the programme, emphasis is placed on the extensive study of the branches of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology; Cultural, Social and Human Geography; and Economic Geography. The subject of Geography can be combined with a second subject in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's Degree Programme (FüBa). After completing the Bachelor's degree, students may go on to pursue a Master's Teacher Training Course for Grammar Schools or, if a non-school-based direction was chosen, a subject-specific Master's degree programme. It is also possible to enter the job market with a Bachelor's degree.
