Studies

Branches of Study at the DUW

At the Department of Environmental Sciences you may do bachelor’s as well as master’s degree programs in Biology, Geosciences and Integrative Prehistory and Archeological Science. There is also the master’s degree program in Sustainable Development as well as the Transfaculty Cross Section Program Sustainable Development (TQNE). In addition, you can do various doctoral studies.

Biology

Biology as the science of life explores what life is and how it works: at all levels, from the molecule to the cell, to the organism and to entire ecosystems.

Master's Degree in Sustainable Development MSD

In 2005, the University of Basel broke new ground with the implementation of the unique, specialized Master's Degree in Sustainable Development MSD.

Geosciences

The geosciences build a bridge between social, environmental and natural sciences. They are used where spatially defined phenomena are dealt with.

Pathways to Sustainability

With this program (formerly known as TQNE) students acquire the ability to distinguish between a variety of natural, social, and economic aspects of sustainability. The participants learn to recognize interactions between these aspects and to reflect critically on themselves.

Prehistoric-Scientific Archeology

Prehistoric archeology deals with people, their environment and their cultures in epochs with little or no writing references.

PhD / Doctorate

As part of the Bologna reform, around 40 doctoral programs have been set up at the University of Basel since 2010. A doctoral program enables doctoral students to have an intensive exchange with other doctoral students, with the various professors in the program and with experts from other universities.
