The most pressing problems of the 21st century include environmental degradation such as climate change, loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, and air pollution, and increasing resource scarcity urging for a more sustainable use of Earth’s resources.
The BSc program Earth Sciences and Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources (ESSMER) is an interdisciplinary science major with a strong focus on phenomena and processes occurring at the Earth’s surface. Our students develop a holistic understanding of the system Earth, anthropogenic interaction with its land, atmosphere, oceans and biosphere, and management of environmental resources, including water, soils, biological and energy resources, and minerals.
The ESSMER program is based on a solid foundation in science disciplines and uses key methodological tools and concepts from Earth Sciences and data management combined with the concepts of sustainability and resource management.
The BSc program Earth Sciences and Sustainable Management of Environmental Resources (ESSMER) at Constructor University is an interdisciplinary science major with a strong focus on phenomena and processes encountered at or near the Earth’s surface. Our students develop a holistic understanding of the Earth’s surface environment with its interacting land masses, oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere, and of the human impact on this environment.
The ESSMER program is based on a solid foundation in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and economics. It combines traditional geoscience disciplines such as:
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 program 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 program 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, who enjoy working outdoors, and who wish to contribute to finding solutions to pressing real-world problems, while being aware of the economic consequences of their actions.
The undergraduate program at Constructor University is a three-year, 180-credit-point program designed to prepare students for a wide range of career paths.
The “4C Model” is the program's backbone, with disciplinary content grouped into three themes according to study years: CHOICE-CORE-CAREER. Additionally, the “CONSTRUCTOR Track”, an integral part of the program, runs parallel throughout the program. It provides students with multidisciplinary content and essential skills such as argumentation, data visualization, societal engagement, and communication.
The curriculum allows students to tailor their education to their goals and to explore different fields of study, with the flexibility to change their major within the first year. Moreover, the programs include a mandatory internship and a study-abroad opportunity in the fifth semester to provide students with hands-on experience and a global perspective.
Career prospects are excellent, as there is an increasing demand for graduates with a science-based background in both Earth and Environmental Sciences and management skills to solve the most pressing issues of our future societies.
