Overview

The socio-ecological transformation of society can succeed only if the respective cultural and epistemic foundations are understood. Hence, this Master program critically analyzes current cultural narratives and values and contrasts them with alternative framings – real and imaginary ones.

Career

Students of Culture, Ecology, Change at University of Rostock will be equipped with both academic and practical tools in order to facilitate socio-ecological change. They will be able to act as “change agents” in various professional fields at regional and national, public and private levels, as well as in the various fields of education. Especially the emphasis on science communication allows for job opportunities in public relations in the fields of environmental protection and environmental science. Further job opportunities include research and teaching, work in non-governmental organizations and political consulting.

Programme Structure

Courses

“Culture, Ecology, Change” is divided into four semesters.

The first semester consists of the module “Approaches” and “Readings,” a theory module. In the second semester students will examine historical roots and the diachronic perspective of cultural-ecological change (including notions of the future).

Parallel to this, they will be able to specialize according to their interests in the interdisciplinary perspectives in semester one and two.
In semester two, students will be able to have a practical experience as well as specialize in science communication.

The third semester will look at current entanglements of cultural and ecological change. A second core module is “Transformation: Future Design” where students will work in groups on a practical project of their choice.
