The dual-subject master’s degree in geography builds on existing basic knowledge of transferable skills (e.g. academic writing and presenting, data analysis and evaluation, work and project organisation, project-related teamwork) from the bachelor’s degree and deepens this. Students acquire the ability to identify more complex contexts in geography, independently work on geographic problems, analyse them with advanced scientific methods and suitably present and document the solution that has been developed.
