BSc Soil, Water & Atmosphere
3 years
€2530 pa
Programme profile
In this programme you learn about hydrology, meteorology and soil science and you work on solutions to environmental issues from a natural science perspective,
Programme content
In the first year, you will study introductory subjects in the field of Soil, Water and Atmosphere, in which students learn about the mutual interconnection between these aspects. Additional subjects in mathematics, physics, chemistry and ecology help to flesh out the basic grounding necessary for the programme. Students will also take classes with students from other programmes, particularly Environmental Science and International Land and Water Management.
The second year takes a more in-depth look at the subject matter, through subjects such as meteorology, water quantity and quality, soil quality and the Earth system, and concludes with a practical fieldwork assignment in which students integrate and apply what they have learned.
Third-year students can choose whether to generalise or specialise (i.e., via breadth or depth subjects). For example, would you rather learn about all three domains (soil, water and atmosphere), or would you prefer to concentrate on a single domain?
