Environmental Systems Science NAWI TECH
Humans in their environment - a complex system in which raw materials and technologies have always played a major role. In the meantime, however, the unconsidered use of materials and the purely business-oriented use of technology is being increasingly criticized, while the demand for more comprehensive solutions is growing. However, the sustainable use of resources and the associated processes and technologies represent a major challenge in both development and operation and require interdisciplinary and systems science approaches in addition to specific technological know-how. The bachelor's and master's degree programme in Environmental Systems Science / Natural Sciences Technology (USW NAWI-TECH) is designed to meet these challenges.

- to the Students' Representation ESS
The USW NAWI-TECH programme focuses on the disciplines of chemistry, physics, earth sciences and process engineering. Tools for dealing with complex systems using analytical and mathematical methods are also taught and students are familiarised with formal scientific solution approaches from systems science and mathematics.
The modules in the degree programme provide
- In-depth knowledge and understanding of chemistry, physics, earth sciences, process engineering, systems sciences, mathematics and statistics
- Interdisciplinary, science-oriented ways of thinking
- Environment-oriented specialisation
- Understanding of complex scientific and technological interrelationships
- Computer-aided data processing
- Ability to work in a team and
- Oral and written communication skills

The interdisciplinary master study programme in Environmental Systems Sciences / Climate and Environmental Monitoring (ESS / CEM) is dedicated to solutions for tomorrow: rising sea levels, melting glaciers and changing vegetation zones show the increasing influence of human activity on the climate and environment. The master programme focuses on the complex interrelationships in systems such as the environment and climate. Recognising and evaluating them is the basic prerequisite for developing possible solutions.
