Overview
Key facts
Since the program is accessible with a wide range of Bachelor degrees, the goals in the first semester are a) to equip all students with a ‘toolkit’ to successfully participate in the subsequent coursework and b) to bring all students to a common basic level in Planetary Sciences. Depending on their previous knowledge, students will have to take two out of three synchronization modules, which provide basic training in either geological foundations, computational methods, or physical and mathematical foundations.
