Universität Osnabrück
Master course soils, inland waters, contaminated sites
Joint course by Hochschule Osnabrück and Universität Osnabrück
The objective of the first joint course of the Universität and the Hochschule Osnabrück is to flexibly, individually and successfully prepare students in the fields of soils, inland waters, and contaminated sites both for a scientific career and other professsional careers. The master course is intended for bachelor graduates from environmental and geoscientific courses, such as geography, geoecology, landscape ecology, limnology, landscaping and landscape architecture, agriculture, gardening, forestry, or civil engineering. The students may select their field of specialisation, i.e. either soils, inland waters or contaminated sites.
