As a joint programme offered by the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn and the United Nations University in Bonn, the course provides a unique combination of advanced conceptual and applied engagements within the field of environmental risks and human security in an international context.
Fields of expertise include Vulnerability Assessment, Ecosystem Services, Sustainable Development, Disaster Management, Climate Change Adaptation, Human-Nature Relationships, Science & Technology Studies, Development Geography, Geomorphology, Socio-Hydrology, Future Studies, GIS and Remote Sensing.
The Programme consists of 12 modules, of which ten are taught in the first three semesters followed by a compulsory internship and the independent work on the Master’s thesis. An internship of at least eight weeks is a compulsory part of the programme.
Department of Geography, University of Bonn (GIUB); United Nations University, Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS)
The main purpose of the two-year Master of Science programme is to provide postgraduate students with detailed knowledge, critical understanding, strategies and the tools required to take an interdisciplinary approach towards environmental risks and human security. The Master’s programme addresses theoretical and methodological debates in geography to better understand the complex emergence of environmental risks and natural hazards, their implications for human-nature relations (vulnerability, resilience, adaptation) and how to deal with them in practice.As a joint programme offered by the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn and the United Nations University in Bonn, the course provides a unique combination of advanced conceptual and applied engagements within the field of environmental risks and human security in an international context.

Bachelor of European Studies With Geography
By the end of the course the graduate will have the skills needed to understand the politics, economics and law of the EU and to assess and analyse to a very relevant degree policy developments in the EU, write reports on such developments and recognise the developing trends. With job training, the graduate will be employable in most EU policy related positions requiring no more than graduate skills. He/she should be in a position to make presentations or to report EU developments succinctly.
Institute for European Studies, University of Malta
The programme of studies aims to provide students with a solid and comprehensive knowledge of the European Union from a multi-disciplinary angle, involving the politics, economics, law and history of European Integration. The degree programme also allows students to focus on two major areas of study chosen from a list of study-areas offered by other faculties and university entities. Another aim is to develop students’ analytical skills and to deepen their critical appraisal of EU policies and EU affairs in general. Special emphasis is also laid, where appropriate, on the deepening of knowledge of the theories and theoretical frameworks employed by the various disciplines in assessing EU policies.By the end of the course the graduate will have the skills needed to understand the politics, economics and law of the EU and to assess and analyse to a very relevant degree policy developments in the EU, write reports on such developments and recognise the developing trends.

Emerging Economies and International Development (MSc)
The MSc course provides you with high-quality post-graduate teaching and research training in the analysis of emerging economies. It offers a distinctive approach to the study of development by focusing on rising economic powers and some of the questions surrounding their emergence as key players in global politics and the economy. It also draws on social scientific expertise from across other departments in the Faculties of Social Sciences & Public Policy and Arts & Humanities.
This course focuses on reviewing economic development theory to ask whether emerging economies offer a new model or models of development. It looks at the strategies that they have adopted to promote development, how inclusive and sustainable or enduring these new strategies are and how emerging markets solve the difficult problems of promoting growth over the longer term. While investigating this last question we will discuss how these countries handle the development and diffusion of technology, how they manage trade and financial flows, how they balance the role of the state and the market, and how they deal with problems of institutional underdevelopment and weak systems of law and accountability.
Duration: 1 year FT / 2 years PT, September to September

Bachelor of Science Geographie
- Students gain a broad range of knowledge of the basic principles of human and physical geography.
- The principles and basic knowledge concerning methods in the laboratory and in field-work methods are conveyed. Another focus is put upon methods in cartography, statistics, quantitative and qualitative social research, remote sensing and GIS.
- The Bachelor Programme also focuses on the practical application of the knowledge gained during field trips, field classes and practical field investigations
- Focus in a certain area can be achieved by choosing a continuing master programme in either a physical or human geography field.
Language information
The BSc Geography at the University of Bonn is a programme of study offered mostly in German. Some courses are offered in English language.
Study Goals

Geographie - Lehramt (Bachelor Lehramt) / Teaching Degree Geography
Die Geographie von heute beschreibt, erklärt und gestaltet räumliche Strukturen und Prozesse. Sie trägt dazu bei, dass Strategien zur Lösung von umwelt- und gesellschaftsrelevanten Problemen auf lokaler bis globaler Ebene gefunden werden. In einer globalisierter Welt, in der eine zunehmende Fragmentierung stattfindet, Raumdistanzen an Bedeutung verlieren und in der sich komplexe Netzwerke entwickeln, gewinnen interdisziplinäre Ansätze an Bedeutung.
Im Lehramt für Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen werden zwei Unterrichtsfächer studiert. Neben der Geographie werden also noch ein zweites Fach sowie die Bildungswissenschaften belegt.

M.Sc. Naturschutz und Landschaftsökologie / Master of Science Geography "Nature protection and landscape ecology"
In diesem neuen, interfakultären Masterstudiengang an der Universität Bonn werden die gesellschaftlich definierten Ziele des Naturschutzes in das Licht neuer landschaftsökologischer Forschung gestellt. Es geht dabei sowohl um die Vermittlung von naturschutzfachlichem Know-how, als auch um eine kritische Fortentwicklung von Naturschutzkonzepten vor dem Hintergrund rascher globaler Veränderungen. Die Studierenden werden in Forschungsprojekte eingebunden und lernen naturschutzrelevante landschaftsökologische Zusammenhänge zu verstehen. Methodisch werden dabei neben bewährten Zugängen auch neue Wege beschritten, z. B. bei der numerischen Modellbildung für die Ableitung von Szenarien oder beim Einsatz digitaler Bildverarbeitung im Naturschutzmonitoring. Prozesse in der Landschaft werden vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Aushandlungsprozesse bewertet.
