Module 1: Man and Environment (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students understand spatial structures, conflicts and processes and evaluate strategies and policies until they are regulated.
Module 2: Scientific Working (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students know the main content of their studies and can plan the structure of their studies individually. They master the methods of scientific work and can position themselves in scientific and theoretical terms. They are very familiar with project orientated work and with project management and are able to carry out projects autonomously and in teams.
Module 3: Principles of Social Sciences (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students possess a basic concept of social and economic sciences.
Module 4: General Geography 1 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students have an enhanced overview of the two main areas of general geography. Students understand the basic processes of the spheres of natural space and of resulting phenomena; they can apply the theory methods and problem issues of human geography emerging from the development of the sub disciplines of human geography and they can apply the findings of the two main areas in the sense of an understanding between society and the environment to specific spatial issues.
Module 5: General Geography 2 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students know the fundamental processes of the sub-disciplines geomorphology, hydrogeography as well as it soil earth and vegetation geography and they can name exactly their species.
Module 6: Cartography, Statistics (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students master the basics of projection theory, can read maps and for specific questions can choose appropriate descriptive statistical methods of evaluation and interpret the results correctly.
Module 7: Regional Geography 1 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
(no courses)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students possess knowledge of typical structures and processes and they can evaluate solution attempts at spatial problem issues in a regional perspective.
Module 8: Human Geography (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students can deduce human geography theories, methods and problem issues from the development of the sub-disciplines human geography and apply them to specific spatial problem issues.
Module 9: Solid Earth 1 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students are oriented towards the basics of the endogenous processes of the lithosphere and of the dynamic change in the earth's surface on geological time scales and possess basic knowledge of the historical development of life.
Module 10: Introduction to Atmospheric Sciences (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: none
Learning Outcome: Students understand the ways of thinking in meteorology; they know the most important phenomena and processes and learn to interpret the weather and climatic events. Students get an overview of the most important contents of the study field of atmospheric sciences and its further development.
Module 11: Physical Geography (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students know the basic processes in the sub disciplines of geomorphology, hydro-geography as well as soil and vegetation geography and can exactly name their species.
Module 12: Practices in Geography (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 6 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students can work independently on practice orientated issues through observation, field mapping, surveys and analysis.
Module 13: Geoinformatics 1 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students have mastered the basics of geoinformatics and know the basic functions of a geographical information system.
Module 14: The Alps and Europe (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students learn the natural-spatial spheres that are typical of Europe: lithosphere, hydrospehre, kryosphere, atmosphere, biosphere) and the societal spatial structures.
Module 15: Applied Geography, Urban and Regional Planning (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students can apply geographical findings and competences to solve socially-relevant problems.
Module 16: Geoinformatics 2 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students possess wide knowledge of data collection and of the structure and organisation of geo-data-banks.
Module 17: Global Change (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 4 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students understand the basic processes and consequences of global climate change and can analytically assess the complex connections between society and environment.
Module 18: Regional Geography 2 (7.5 ECTS-Credits, 5 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students can recognise unknown regions, forms of landscape, spatial structures, space-distinguishing processes and the structural fabric of the society-environment relationship; they can estimate the potential of landscape for use with various economic aims, undertake regionalisation projects, identify spatial problems and work out possible solutions.
Module 19: Seminar with Bachelor Thesis (15 ECTS-Credits, 1 h)
Prerequisites for registration: Positive completion of compulsory modules 1 and 4.
Learning Outcome: Students are able to produce a peace of written work on a topic from a geographical topic (physical-geography or human geography) that meets the requirements of good scientific practice and they can present their findings in the form of a lecture.
