Module 8: Global Change and Risk in Urban and Regional Development of Different Social and Economic Systems (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students can analyse and judge the chances and risks of global change for urban and regional development. They can understand theoretical fundamentals and apply their findings critically in order to infer from them strategies of spatial development in specific regions.
Module 9: Globalisation and Spatial Development (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 8.
Learning Outcome: Students recognise in globalisation an important factor of contemporary special development and can work on sustainable spatial development.
Module 10: Urban and Regional Change (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 9.
Learning Outcome: Students can grasp the spatial processes of a specific space (town or country); they can adequately describe and explain and apply spatial and social scientific methods.
Module 11: Sustainable Utilisation of Scientific Results (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 10 or 13.
Learning Outcome: Students can mediate scientific findings in written and oral form and they have mastered the necessary formal guidelines for this. They can use statistical verbal, and graphic and interpretation methods of analysis, they can work on solution models and estimate the chances of their success.
Module 12: The Third World between Globalisation and Sustainability (7.5 ECTS-AP, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 8.
Learning Outcome: Students can understand the theoretical basis of development research they can apply their finding critically and infer therefrom strategies for spatial development in specific regions of the Third World.
Module 13: Processes of Regional Development (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 12.
Learning Outcome: Students can recognise, understand and explain a development problem in a specific local regional context, they can understand and explain a stressed relationship between global change and regional sustainability using the example of specific locations in the Third World; they practise cooperation with the decision-makers in the context of governance strategies and acquire experience of empirical work.
Module 14: Processes and Effects of Global Change in Mountain Ecosystems (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students can describe and explain climate-instigated phenomena and processes in mountain ranges eco systems.
Module 15: Regional Aspects of Global Climate Change in High Mountain Environments - Data Bases (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 14.
Learning Outcome: Using regional examples, students can recognise climate-instigated processes of mountain areas, thanks to their in-depth theoretical background.
Module 16: Regional Aspects of Global Climate Change in High Mountain Environments - Analysis (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 15.
Learning Outcome: Students can correctly interpret climate indicators in the mountains and they can master approaches to model them.
Module 17: Sustainable Ecological Management in Mountain Regions (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 16 or 19.
Learning Outcome: Students have mastered the basic concepts of sustainability and they can independently analyse and evaluate further developments in the Human/Environment relationship.
Module 18: From Natural Hazards to Risk Research (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 14.
Learning Outcome: Students know the basics of modern risk based natural hazard research and in this context they can grasp, administer and govern relevant data.
Module 19: Regional Aspects of Natural Hazard Risks (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of module 18.
Learning Outcome: Students can autonomously analyse and evaluate risks and can reflect critically on new developments in the area of risk research.
Module 20: Extended Gender Aspects (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are familiar with the current approaches in gender-related research and with regard to sustainability, in anthropological as well as natural scientific disciplines and in the field.
