A minimum proficiency equalling a B2 level according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is required. However, a C1 level is highly recommended. Non-native speakers of English are required to provide an internationally recognised language certificate (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge, telc). Applicants from multilingual countries in which English is a recognised official language must provide a certificate from their university stating the language of instruction and the student’s English language proficiency. German candidates who acquired English language skills at the level “Leistungskurs Abitur” must provide proof indicating their successful course completion (e.g. their "Abitur" certificate).

Requirements
Academic Admission
Applicants must possess a first higher education qualification (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent) in Geography or a related/relevant academic field. Out of all achieved academic performances (Bachelor’s, Master’s, additional coursework, etc.) the majority of attended courses (as reflected in the transcripts) must be related to the three following areas: human geography and social sciences with a focus on spatial patterns, society, development; science methodology and empirical research methods; physical geography, geosciences and environmental sciences with a focus on earth system science. (Hint: The programme is not designed for graduates in engineering-related subjects.) A strong motivation to contribute to the area of human security and management of risks related to environmental change is a prerequisite to study in the Master’s programme. Applicants should be highly motivated to learn in a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment. A minimum of two years of related professional experience is additionally required for candidates from developing countries who wish to apply for a scholarship under the Development-Related Postgraduate Courses (EPOS) programme of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
