    • Annotation of the Higher Education Institution To help address pressing environmental and social challenges, environmental systems science studies changes in environmental systems (e.g. ecosystems, agriculture, production chains/logistics), associated problems and potential sustainable solutions, and their implementation.
      The subject "Environmental Systems Science" is composed proportionally of the disciplines mathematics, computer science, environmental science, systems analytical methods and an interdisciplinary elective, in which students can choose from a wide range of subjects (e.g. biology, physics, chemistry, geoinformatics, social sciences, economics).
      The study of Environmental Systems Science at the University of Osnabrück is unique of its kind in Germany. Our environment is characterised by complex systems such as ecosystems, human-environment systems (e.g. agriculture, cities), economic systems (e.g. companies, production chains) or transport systems (e.g. logistics, railways). Knowledge of the properties of individual system components does not allow conclusions to be drawn about the behaviour of the system as a whole. The aim of environmental systems science is to understand the behaviour of complex systems and to identify ways of influencing them. To this end, it develops mathematical or computer-based models of real systems and analyses interrelationships within complex systems with the aim of explaining their behaviour and being able to influence their development. Central topics in the BachelorŽs degree course are learning mathematical modelling (e.g. system dynamics, mathematical analysis of dynamic systems), the programming of e.g. rule- and agent-based simulation models, and socio-economic analyses.

      The degree course can be chosen as a so-called mono-bachelor or as one of two subjects in a 2-subject bachelor, whereby the mono-bachelor contains stronger mathematics and computer science components.

      Possible careers:
      Graduates of Environmental Systems Science have a wide range of opportunities due to their education in mathematics and computer science. After completing their Master's degree programme (and possibly a doctorate), they often find employment in research in companies or universities, frequently in the field of environmental research (e.g. climate research, socio-economic research, infection modelling), but they also find jobs without further studies, e.g. in the IT sector, in management consultancy, in insurance companies, in logistics companies or generally in administration and management

    „We offer a wide range of degree programs and an excellent research environment. As a young, dynamic university, we foster diversity, nurture potential, and are actively involved on a national, international and regional scale.”
    Prof. Dr. Susanne Menzel-Riedl
    President of Osnabrück University
    University in the heart of the city

    Osnabrück University, founded in 1973, is a dynamic place to study, offering courses with strong research and quality credentials. The University is an integral part of the City of Peace, a vibrant city that is rich in tradition and culture.

    High standards in academic supervision and support

    The University’s nine schools offer around 180 cutting-edge degree programs. The range of subjects comprises Bachelor and Master’s programs in the following areas of study

    • Humanities and Social Sciences, Sports
    • Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences
    • Law and Economics
    • Language, Literary and Cultural Studies
    • Theology, Art, Music, Textiles

    Another strong point of Osnabrück University is the scientifically based education and training of teachers for virtually all school types.

    Interdisciplinary research

    The outstanding research undertaken at the University is only possible due to close interdisciplinary cooperation:

    • The AI Campus is the result of many years of specialization in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
    • The Center of Cellular Nanoanalytics Osnabrück (CellNanOs) interdisciplinary research center develops new approaches in modern cell biology.
    • The Institute of Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) explores the aspects of spatial mobility and intercultural experiences.
    • Early childhood education and development is addressed at the Center for Early Childhood Development and Education Research (CEDER) research center.
    • A beacon of interdisciplinary cooperation is the Institute of Cognitive Science (IKW), which addresses issues of higher cognitive functions.
    • At the Institute of Environmental Systems Research (USF), research is conducted on changes in environmental systems.
    • The European Legal Studies Institute, one of Europe’s most important research facilities in the field of comparative law and the harmonization of law, is firmly anchored at Osnabrück University.


    The “UOS 2020” concept for the future, featuring six key research strands, paves the way for the development of the University in years to come.
