Studium Oecologicum

Studium Oecologicum is a certificate program that complements students’ normal course of studies, affording them key competencies and basic knowledge of the relationship between humans and the environment as well as issues of sustainable development.

Prerequisite: You must have at least 8 ECTS points in at least four courses offered by the TU Environmental Initiative (tuuwi) or other Studium Generale courses (you can find the directory here) which directly pertain to the topics above or are comparable. 

Of these courses, at least one should be a tuuwi course.

Courses that are meant to make up a compulsory module in your degree program will not be credited toward the Studium Oecologicum, even if they touch upon the above-mentioned topics. You can apply for the certificate up to a maximum of six months after completing your Bacherlor’s, Master’s or Diplom degree program.

How do you obtain your certificate? By collecting, scanning and submitting all relevant documents proving your attendance and examination to urv@tuuwi.de. Then, the certificate will be issued.

• Proof of attendance of a TU Environmental Initiative course (e.g. an environmental lecture series or project day): 1 ECTS point

• Proof of examination in a TU Environmental Initiative course (e.g. an environmental lecture series with examination and proof of passing grade): 3 ECTS points

• Proof of attendance and examination in a course from the Studium Generale: Credit possible upon written request (on a case-by-case basis).

Of course, tuuwi and Studium Generale courses may also be combined for credit toward a Studium Oecologicum certificate.
