Course content

What does it take to understand and tackle the multifaceted challenges of climate change?

Climate Change Science equips students with an in-depth understanding of the climate system and its variability, combining natural science perspectives with insights into policy and sustainability. The track highlights the interplay between atmospheric phenomena, ecosystem dynamics, and socio-economic impacts, emphasising interdisciplinary learning. Ideal for students keen on bridging climate science and societal impact, this track emphasises interdisciplinary learning.

This study track is one of nine available. To learn more about all the study tracks, visit: Master’s Programme in Transdisciplinary Studies of Climate, Environment and Energy

What to expect
Students will explore:

• Scientific foundations: Detailed knowledge of climate variability, ecosystem responses, and geophysical processes.
• Technological applications: Training in remote sensing and climate modelling techniques.
• Sustainability perspectives: Insights into the socio-political dimensions of climate policies.

Core modules include Principles of Remote Sensing, Science and Sustainability, and Climate Diplomacy. Students will also participate in research internships and fieldwork.

Participating universities
This track is a collaborative effort among three leading universities:

1. Stockholm University (SU, Sweden): Laying the foundation with a transdisciplinary perspective on climate, energy, and environment.
2. National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA, Greece): Offering expertise in climate variability and change as well as climate policies and diplomacy.
3. Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (UT, Germany): Specialising in Earth surface processes and climate modelling.

This unique combination ensures students acquire the skills and knowledge to lead in research and policy-making for climate resilience.
