Environmental Systems Science

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Environmental Systems Science investigates changes in environmental systems (e.g. ecosystems, agriculture, production chains/logistics), associated problems and potential sustainable solutions as well as their implementation. The program focuses on analyzing complex systems such as ecosystems (forests), human-environment systems (cities), economic systems (companies), or transport systems (railroads). Using a wide range of methods, systems scientists analyze the relationships within complex systems with the aim of explaining their behavior and controlling their development. Mathematical and computer-aided models are important tools. The program in Osnabrück is unique in Germany, comprising systems science, mathematics, computer science, and content from an interdisciplinary field of application that can be chosen from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business Administration and Economics, Social Sciences, Geography/Geoinformatics, or Psychology.
