Applied & Environmental Geoscience (AEG)

The Master of Science in Applied & Environmental Geoscience (AEG) at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen is an international, full-time, research-oriented graduate program focused on evaluating and addressing environmental problems. The program covers Geosciences and Environmental Science, with particular emphasis on subsurface environmental issues such as groundwater pollution, unsustainable natural-resource use, waste disposal, and the effects of climate and land-use change on soil and water quality. Students develop a multidisciplinary understanding of physical, chemical, and biological processes in the geo- and hydrosphere and learn to assess complex environmental processes and risks in soils, water, and air.

The program is taught in English and has a standard duration of 4 semesters. Admission is restricted locally and is available for the winter semester only. Applicants require a Bachelor of Science in Geology, Geoecology, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics, or Biology, along with English proficiency demonstrated by a TOEFL score of at least 79 points iBT. Tuition for international students is €1,500 per semester.
