CHE Ranking 2021: Top rankings in Geography and Earth Sciences

2021-05-07

In the 2021 CHE University Ranking published on 4 May, UBT also receives a series of top ratings in the subjects of geography and earth sciences. Students award top marks for general study conditions, study organisation, and IT infrastructure. In almost all criteria for the quality of the teaching offered, the ratings are well above the national average, and the excursions and laboratory practicals integrated into the study programme are also highly rated. Students appreciate the good atmosphere on campus, and the willingness of lecturers to listen to criticism and suggestions from their students.

With interdisciplinary study programmes in Geography and the Earth Sciences, the University is a pioneer nationwide. "In Bayreuth, we teach our students scientific competencies and practical skills that enable them to work on solving crucial questions for the future. We therefore seek to familiarise them with current research questions right from their very first semester - especially on topics such as environmental change, renewable energies, nature conservation, urban and regional development, migration, international cooperation, and globalisation. In doing so, social and natural science perspectives are always related to each other in order to highlight the interrelationships between society and the environment," says Prof. Dr. Martin Doevenspeck, Executive Director of the Department of Geography at the University of Bayreuth.

Prof. Dr. Stefan Peiffer, Director of BayCEER, explains: "With its study programmes in the field of geoecology, an interdisciplinary environmental science, the University of Bayreuth is setting standards nationwide. The focus of the course is on natural ecosystems, especially lakes, forests, and grasslands, but also anthropogenic ecosystems, such as fields, industrial wastelands, or landfills, and the biological, chemical, and physical processes involved. Our students learn to participate in the development of far-sighted strategies to solve environmental problems, not least in view of the challenges posed by global climate change."
