"Environmental monitoring and planning" 2007 – 2022

The German-language degree programme “Environmental Monitoring and Planning” has been in existence since 2007 and was originally designed as a postgraduate programme in “Environmental Monitoring and Management”. The 2017-2020 cycle was characterised by the changeover to the new structure as an integrative component of a regular Master’s degree programme at ASU’s Faculty of Geography. As a result, the DSG was then integrated into two Master’s programmes in order to also give biology students the opportunity to participate in the DSG (see structure of the DSG).

Background and objectives

• To enable Russian graduates to monitor the environment using natural indicators as well as data collected in the field and in the laboratory (but also from other geo-information sources, e.g. aerial/satellite images)
• to support students with the DSG in order to open up special opportunities for them on the local labour market with the help of special training
