Education
The aim of teaching in the field of geochemistry and hydrogeology is to provide an education that prepares students for work in both the paractical and scientific fields. Graduates of our subject area can work in public administration, engineering offices, mining and oil companies as well as in science. One contribution to this goal is interdisciplinary cooperation within science and with partners from industry. The Geological Service for Bremen (GDfB) plays a special role here, supervising many Bachelor's and Master's theses together with the Department of Geochemistry and Hydrogeology and other departments of the faculty and also participating in teaching.
A good education in geochemistry and hydrogeology requires a solid basic understanding of geology and mathematics. This is why the training in Bremen is integrated into the general geology course. This means that modules can be selected in the Bachelor's and Master's degree courses that allow the desired specialization.
Geochemie und Hydrogeologie in Bacherlor- und Masterstudiengängen
An overview of bachelor's and master's theses, as well as geoscience project exercises supervised in the department between 2008 and 2014, can be found here.
In addition, the department has developed a contractually agreed cooperation with the University of Bologna, which has led to the joint supervision of project and master's theses. The bilateral agreement between the Universities of Bremen and Bologna enables lecturers and students to apply for funding under the ERASMUS program.
