This degree program participates in the Dialogorientiertes Serviceverfahren (DoSV) – an initiative organized to aid communication between universities and applicants in cases where prospective students apply for multiple degree programs at multiple universities. This means that applicants from Germany and the rest of the EU must have an applicant ID (BID) and an authentication number (BAN) issued to them from Hochschulstart prior to submitting their application to TU Dresden.
General information for the degree programme
Geographers analyse spatial structures and processes in environment and society. Their main focus is on understanding the natural components and structures in landscapes, and on the analysis of society-space relationships.
A special feature and strength of Dresden's Geography degree programme is the combination of natural sciences and humanities in research and teaching.
The aim of the programme is to impart fundamental knowledge of general and regional physical geography and of human geography, to enable students to work in an integrative and interdisciplinary way, and to provide a sound education in subject-specific methods.
The Dresden Geography degree programme addresses current issues in the relationship between humans and the environment, which are amongst the most important societal and political challenges (climate and environmental change, environmental risks, demographic change, societal polarisation and conflicts).
