Master Modules
Module handbook as PDF
The Master Course "Physics of the Earth and Atmosphere" is in cooperation with the University of Bonn
Proposed plan of study (starting with winter term)
Proposed plan of study (starting with summer term)
Compulsory modules for main focus
To specify the study the students have to complete 5 compulsory modules with main focus on geophysics or meteorology
| Geophysics | Meteorology |
|---|---|
| GEOEEM | METABL |
| GEOAFC | METCLOUD |

Abbreviations:
Sem: Semester
LP/CP: Leistungspunkte/Credit Points
G: Gewicht (weight)
The grade is calculated by multiplying each module grade with its weight and divide the sum of it by the sum of the weights (= 120).
