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
The focus of the Bachelor programme is to impart analytical and methodological approaches. These are important qualifications for work areas where specific knowledge is not conveyed during studies but during the first phases of occupation (e.g. trainee programmes).
Programme Duration and Scope
The usual duration of the programme is six semesters. The programme is comprised of courses of the major subject geography (150 credit points) and subject-linked optional modules (30 credit points).

Emerging Economies and International Development (MSc)
Our 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

Masterstudiengang Katastrophenvorsorge und Katastrophenmanagement / Master of Disaster Management and Risk Governance
Das Curriculum ist aus den Sozial-, Natur-, Ingenieur- und Gesundheitswissenschaften sowie operativen Bereichen zusammengestellt. KaVoMa-Absolventinnen und -Absolventen erlernen und festigen Grundlagen aus den Natur- und Gesellschaftswissenschaften, die ihnen nicht nur helfen, die für den Menschen und seine Lebensgrundlage potenziell negativen Auswirkungen von Prozessen der Geo- und Atmosphäre, sondern auch die menschliche Reaktion darauf zu verstehen. Außerdem werden die einzelnen Schritte der Risikoregulierung vermittelt: von Methoden der Gefahren-, Vulnerabilitäts- und schließlich der Risikoanalyse und deren kritische Hinterfragung bis hin zur Bewertung von Risiken und den möglichen Methoden der nachhaltigen Vorsorge und der Vorbereitung auf den Ernstfall. Dabei wird der Risikokommunikation als Methode der Vorsorge und als wesentlicher Bestandteil der Risikoregulierung insgesamt eine grundlegende Bedeutung zugemessen.
Neu: Im Rahmen eines Praxismoduls können außerhochschulische Erfahrungen, z. B. Praktika, mit Leistungspunkten belegt werden. Diese Form der Anerkennung ist nun auch für qualifizierte ehrenamtliche Tätigkeiten und berufliche Tätigkeiten (nach Maßgabe des Prüfungsausschusses) möglich. Wichtig ist, dass die Erfahrungen zum Themenfeld des Studiengangs passen und bestimmte Anforderungskriterien erfüllen. Die Studiendauer verkürzt sich entsprechend der Anrechnung, maximal um bis zu 9 Monate.
Die Bewerbungsfrist für das jeweilige Wintersemester endet am 15. Juli

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.
