In general, you should have a strong interest in the natural sciences<\/strong>. Solid knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, and physics is desirable, but not mandatory, as you will learn all of the basic skills during your studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Geosciences student, you will take part in many field trips<\/strong>. You should therefore be able to move around in the field with ease and have sufficient stamina for such excursions, as the field trips are often off the beaten track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must be able to read and understand specialist academic literature in English in order to pursue your studies. However, you will not be required to provide separate proof of your language proficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good English skills are also relevant for the field courses held abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-accordionitem>\n\n\n \n\n
