About the Master's programme

Information technologies (IT) are key technologies of the 21st century. Even today, information technologies are deep-seated in many fields of research and practice.

The aim of the programme is to produce scientifically trained specialists who are particularly qualified for the creative application of IT to describing problems and creating solutions for environmental issues. We achieve our goal by imparting a wide range of scientific methods and tools for the collection, analysis, visualisation, and communication of environmental data. The factual basis of the education is applied mainly to the fields of forest ecosystems and forest management. The application of IT can help to improve the recognition of silvicultural problems as well as of environmental changes that are becoming more complex and more global, and to point out solutions. By applying modern IT, it becomes possible to prepare sustainable forest cultivation and ecologically compatible actions. Well trained specialists are needed for these challenging and exciting tasks.

Environmental information technologies such as Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, Statistics, Databases, Programming, the Internet and their forest ecosystem- and environment-related application form the core of the subjects taught. The core modules are accompanied by selected topics in forest and ecological disciplines.

Students learn the relevant concepts and methods for survey, analysis, visualisation and communication of environmental data, acquire practical skills in handling common software products particularly related to spatial data, achieve a critical understanding of the processes in forest ecosystems and of forest management and are able to apply information technologies creatively to describe problems and find solutions, develop methods for sampling environmental data and computer- and model-based assessments of the effects on forests and other ecosystems, and they learn how to cooperate in interdisciplinary work groups.

The first semester takes place at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development and covers fundamental knowledge of environmental information technologies.

The second semester takes place at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (Poland). It focuses on teaching continuative knowledge of environmental information technologies including specific silvicultural contents.

Third semester: independent research project (at the particular university or partner institution in Germany, Poland or abroad); range of elective courses (in Eberswalde partly together with the study programme MSc Global Change Management).

Fourth semester: Master's thesis; range of elective courses (in Eberswalde partly together with study programme MSc Global Change Management)
