Compulsory Module 5: Numerical Modeling (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students know fundamental methods to solve partial differential equations in environmental sciences, development of weather, climate and glacier models as well as issues of forcing the model and data evaluation and are able to model independent solution approaches.
Compulsory Module 6: Numerical Methods (5 ECTS-Credits, 3 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students know methods for solving partial differential equations and know how to apply them to issues of atmospheric sciences.
Compulsory Module 8: Reading, Writing and Presenting Scientific Contents (2.5 ECTS-Credits, 2 h) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students master techniques to analyse and discuss scientific literature as well as to present scientific results in written and oral form.
Compulsory Module 10: Master's Thesis Defense (2.5 ECTS-Credits) (no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: positive completion of all modules and positive assessment of the Master's Thesis
