As a joint program offered by the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn and the United Nations University in Bonn, the course provides a unique combination of advanced conceptual and applied engagements within the field of environmental risks and human security in an international context.

    • Human Geography and Social Sciences with a focus on spatial patterns, society, development;

  • 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 this Master’s Program. Applicants should be highly motivated to learn in a multicultural and interdisciplinary environment.
