Scientists within the Field of Excellence play an important part in different, interdisciplinary as well as disciplinary Master programs at the University of Graz:

Master Programmes in Environmental and Regional Sciences

In this degree programme you will learn about relevant aspects of the specialist geographical disciplines of geomorphology, climatology and hydrology and how they are interconnected (integrative geography).

You study to understand the climate system, the connected risks of climate change for ecosystems and societies, and how we can transform towards carbon-neutral and climate resilient societies choosing a clear focus in either natural or social sciences while learning to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries.

What makes the study programme Environmental Systems Sciences / Sustainability and Innovation Management unique is the combination of sustainability and innovation management topics.

In this degree programme you will learn about the theory and practice of cartography, remote sensing, geographical information systems and location-based services for the modelling, analysis and interpretation of processes that have an impact on places.

You will gain broad insights into individual areas of globalisation and development and choose a specialisation appropriate to your subject focus in business administration and/or economics, emphasising aspects of sustainability and business ethics.

This study programme explores the creation and optimisation of technologies for sustainable development, and implementation of circular economy concepts at company, local, regional, national and international levels.

This study programme teaches the basics of sustainable development and, depending on the content of your first degree, you can specialise in areas such as corporate sustainability management, climate change, environmental economics, environmental change and ecosystems, or global development policy.

In this degree programme you will study selected socio-economic transformation processes and relationships between human society and the environment, specifically in towns and regions, from a social sciences perspective.

On the master’s programme, you will acquire subject-specific knowledge that will equip you to look at issues relating to sustainable development, reducing risks and improving livelihoods in the human-environment system from a geographical perspective and incorporating interdisciplinary methods as well as those from systems science.

Master Programmes in Natural Science

This programme provides a comprehensive introduction to materials and their characteristics, composition, function and diverse applications in practically every sphere of modern engineering and technology.

In this master’s programme, you will expand and enhance your knowledge of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and also of synthetic chemistry.

An important feature of the master’s programme are legal aspects of handling chemical compounds, running processes and plants.

In this degree programme you will investigate the formation and structure of the Earth and life on it, and the safeguarding and use of natural resources.

Biodiversity is an important resource for Planet Earth. The master’s programme explains how biodiversity is created (evolution), how it works (ecology) and what it is being threatened by.

The main content of the study programme includes the structure and workings of ecosystems as well as biotic and abiotic interactions and symbiotic life strategies.

You may specialise in Climate and Atmospheric Physics. In addition to a well grounded education in physics you you will investigate the fundamental laws of atmospheric, oceanic and climate dynamics, modeling and observation of climate variability and changes.

This master’s programme will provide you with a technical and scientific grounding in physics, geodesy, electrical engineering, and environmental systems sciences, as well as a sound education in the space sciences and their applications.

The master’s programme covers a wide range of topics including renewable resources, macromolecular chemistry, plastics technology, surface and interface technology, technologically significant materials, and energy storage materials.

Master Programmes in Humanities, Social and Economic Sciences and Law

Combining theory with practice, issues concerning politics, economics and law are addressed and scrutinised from a philosophical angle.

This master’s programme will give you a sound training in political and economic theory on which to base empirical work and make recommendations on economic policy issues. It covers a broad spectrum of topics including environmental and climate economics.

The master’s programme in Environmental Systems Sciences/Economics provides you with an interdisciplinary approach to topical questions connected with climate change and its consequences.

Master's module

The module “Climate change and sustainable transformation” offers you a scientifically based additional training that prepares you for a green job, no matter in which field – economic, legal, financial, social or creative.

Doctorate/PhD studies

The aim of the Doctoral Program in Natural Sciences is to impart the ability to independent scientific work beyond the academic professional training and to bring students to the forefront of current research in Natural Sciences of the University Graz by independently achieving new findings. The doctoral program thus serves to train the next generation of scientists.

The doctoral program in Social and Economic Sciences is scientifically oriented and serves to prepare students to contribute to the development of science through independent research and to develop scientific and research personalities capable of critical reflection, objective discourse and holistic thinking.

The Doctoral Programme of Natural Science – Faculty of Environmental and Regional Sciences and Education teaches and fosters a theoretical understanding and methodological skills in academic working in the field of the natural sciences.

This interdisciplinary doctoral programme teaches and fosters theoretical understanding and methodological skills for academic work at the intersection of various different disciplines.

The Doctoral Program in Philosophy enables students to conduct independent and innovative scientific work in the form of a dissertation. In doing so, doctoral students are to be introduced to research in the humanities at an international level through the independent acquisition of new scientific knowledge.

Doctoral students extend and enhance their theoretical and methodological expertise and skills in the field of law. In their doctoral thesis, which may also address an interdisciplinary topic, they work independently to explore new academic questions.

The PhD programme in Law and Politics brings together research and teaching of law and political science, combining subjects and disciplines from both areas, at the doctoral level.
