From the Director

The challenges posed by climate change demand for scientists, experts and professionals with a holistic view on the climate system. Climate impacts on the natural and managed environment, on our life-support systems, economy, and society are of pressing concern both today and in the future.

This challenge calls for an educational scheme and a curriculum outside the traditional disciplines, to teach our MSc and PhD students both the scientific foundations and the necessary skills.

The Graduate School of Climate Sciences (MSc and PhD) is run by the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research. It offers an educational scheme and training opportunities for the future climate scientists and professionals. You assemble your curriculum from a broad range of elective courses in the fields of Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, Earth and Biological Sciences, Economics and Social Sciences. The tailor-made curriculum gives you the scientific knowledge and personal skill to take leadership in science, business, and administration.

The Graduate School brings together dedicated individuals with different expertise and scientific background. You are invited to join us and to learn with us.
