Course description

The MSc program in Integrated Climate System Sciences (ICSS) offers a comprehensive education across all climate research disciplines, providing a holistic understanding of the climate system. This interdisciplinary approach equips you to grasp the dynamics of climate variability, climate change, and their societal impacts, including adaptive responses.
