Master "Angewandte Humangeographie 120 ECTS"

Through the study of Applied Human Geography, the students gain detailed knowledge of current research fields of economic geography and urban geography, of social geography with a particular focus on both service sector and information society, as well as regional research.

In today’s global world the issues faced by geographers change rapidly. Therefore, the contents of the courses are regularly updated and adjusted to the demands of the society. At the same time, methods are provided for a continuous spatial observation. These include the gathering and analysis of areal information, visualisation, monitoring and communication. The mostly descriptive observation thus is by analysing and assessing it, which can be fulfilled with different assessment methods and analytical techniques. Furthermore, essential knowledge of planning regulations, regional marketing and regional management is provided. Optionally, these important method courses can be supplemented by modules in the field of economic, legal, political as well as social sciences. Lastly, work placements or research placements - potentially also abroad - and the active involvement in a project study grant insight into the activity of a human geographer.
