Go to the superordinate section
Module 5: Mathematics 3 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 6 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students learn how to understand the methods of analysis in several variables and to apply them independently to problems.
Module 6: Physics 2 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students learn the ways of thinking of physics in the area of electromagnetism and of optics in order to be able to understand and independently solve problems in this area.
Module 7: Introduction to Chemistry and Geophysics (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students can understand the basics of general and inorganic chemistry and of geophysics and can apply simple chemical analytical methods.
Module 8: Meteorological Instrumentation and Measurement Lab (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students can carry out and document basic experiments in the lab and in the field. Students have an overview of the main content of the study programme and of its later development.
Module 13: Mathematical Methods (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1, 2 and 3.
Learning Outcome: Students can apply the mathematical methods they have learnt to problems of meteorology and of physics.
Module 14: Dynamics of the Atmosphere (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8.
Learning Outcome: Students are able to understand the cause and effect of dynamic processes in the atmosphere and to diagnose and forecast atmospheric currents.
Module 15: The Alps and Europe (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 4 and 8.
Learning Outcome: Students know the natural spatial spheres that are typical of Europe (lithosphere, hydrosphere, kryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere,) and social spatial structures and can carry out measurements in the field to analyse and evaluate them.
Module 20: Gases and Aerosols (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8.
Learning Outcome: Students understand the meaning of gases and aerosoles for the weather and the climate and can work out task problems in this area.
Module 21: Climate, Glaciology, Hydrology (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8.
Learning Outcome: Students understand the basics of the climate system and of the processes and back coupling, that function between his components and the krosphere and the hydrosphere.
