The BSc programme in Earth Sciences and Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources (ESSMER) at Constructor University is an interdisciplinary science programme with a strong focus on phenomena and processes encountered at or near the Earth’s surface. Our students will develop a holistic understanding of the Earth’s surface environment with its interacting land masses, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere as well as the human impact on this environment. The ESSMER programme is based on a solid foundation in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and economics. It combines traditional geoscience disciplines, such as geology, environmental science, and digital geoscience, using key methodological tools and concepts from geochemistry, geodata analysis, and data management as well as sustainability economics. The modular curriculum allows for an excellent integration of additional optional complementary courses from the social sciences, e.g. economics and management, and from the life sciences, e.g. biochemistry, cell biology and microbiology. This unique structure underlines the importance of a holistic understanding of environmental topics from different perspectives, including chemistry, physics, and economics.
The ESSMER programme imparts the knowledge and the skills that allow our graduates to address topical challenges and key research questions including the sustainable and responsible exploration of natural resources, the short- and long-term evolution of the Earth’s climate and oceans, the scientific processing and analysis of large volumes of digital Earth data and pressing anthropogenic challenges to the natural environment. The ESSMER programme is ideally suited for proactive and engaged students who are passionate about planet Earth and our natural environment, its dynamics, and the impact of human activities. Programme participants should also enjoy working outdoors and wish to contribute to finding solutions to pressing real-world problems, while being aware of the economic consequences of their actions.
