About

The Applied and Environmental Geoscience programme at the University of Tübingen is an international research-oriented study program focusing on the evaluation and solution of environmental problems. 

Overview

Special emphasis is given to environmental problems in the subsurface such as the pollution of drinking water supplies from groundwater resources, the non-sustainable use of natural resources, the impact of short and long term waste disposal, the impact of climate and land-use change on soil and water quality.

The Applied and Environmental Geoscience programme at the University of Tübingen aims for a comprehensive understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological process mechanisms in the geo- and hydrosphere. Students from various science backgrounds learn to qualitatively and quantitatively address complex processes in soils, water and air and to evaluate environmental risks based on multi-disciplinary approaches.

Career prospects

As AEG students have various academic backgrounds - some are trained in geosciences, others in environmental sciences, chemistry, biology, physics or engineering - they choose different specializations and elective modules according to their respective background and interests. Therefore AEG alumni are also working in a variety of fields.

The key employers for graduates of the AEG program are environmental consultancies working in:

  • characterization of sites (hydrogeology, geophysics, chemical and micorbiological analysis)
  • assessment of environmental risks
  • management of water resources
  • design and operation of remediation technologies
  • modeling of flow and reactive transport in subsurface systems

AEG graduates are also well trained for jobs in environmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and (re-)insurance companies covering costs of environmental risks and remediation. Furthermore AEG lays an excellent foundation for doctoral studies in programs of earth sciences, environmental sciences, and environmental engineering.
