Study structure

This page contains automatically translated content.

The degree program has a modular structure. Each module deals with a clearly defined subject area and is completed with a certificate of achievement. The content and requirements are described in detail in the examination regulations and in the module handbook.


  • The modules are coordinated in terms of subject and time. For a sensible structure of your studies, we recommend that you follow the sample study plan, which shows an ideal course of study over the standard period of study of seven semesters.
  • The recommended course makes it easier to successfully complete your studies within the standard period of study. However, individual adjustments - e.g. due to internships, stays abroad or part-time study - are possible and in many cases sensible.

Integrated sustainability studies

The basic modules teach fundamental theoretical and methodological knowledge about sustainability. You will receive an introduction to:

  • central terms, theories and concepts of sustainability science,
  • basic methods of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary sustainability research,
  • social conflicts and legal disputes in the field of sustainability,
  • the connection between sustainability and transformation processes.
  • Students will also learn the techniques of scientific work.

Students can choose a specialization from a total of 31 specializations.

The specialization module shows you how differently sustainability can be thought of and shaped - technically, socially, scientifically, legally, creatively or politically, depending on your choice.

Whether it's urban planning, biodiversity, climate change, digitalization or issues of justice: you decide which topic you are interested in. This will give you well-founded professional insights and teach you to understand complex challenges from different perspectives and actively help shape them.
