Requirements
Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree in geosciences or a related degree.
Minimum standard period of study: 6 semesters.
Required ECTS credits: 180.
Those who have not yet completed their studies at the time of application but have acquired at least 150 credit points in a relevant bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree are provisionally entitled to access.
The selection committee makes the decision as to whether a previous course of study is relevant. Proof of at least the following achievements is a prerequisite for the technical relevance of the previous studies:
- Achievements in the fields of geosciences, geography, resource management, and natural sciences totaling at least 120 credit points, including achievements in the field of geosciences totaling at least 50 credit points, or
- Achievements from a natural sciences degree, a degree in science-oriented engineering, or a subject closely related subject totaling at least 120 credits, including achievements in geosciences, hydrogeology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics totaling at least 50 credits.
If fewer people apply who meet all the admission requirements than there are places available, the selection committee can make the determination of subject relevance dependent on the achievements that have not yet been completed being made up within two semesters; in this case, the determination of the technical relevance and the admission are subject to a condition subsequent until proof of the missing achievements, which must be received within two semesters of enrollment at the university (exclusion period). If the proof of the missing achievements is not submitted in time, the determination of the technical relevance and a notification of admission based on it become ineffective. The determination of the technical relevance is excluded if the scope of the achievements, which have not yet been rendered, amounts to more than 15 credit points.
