The BSc programme Soil, Water, Atmosphere is a programme in the domain of Earth Sciences and focuses on the outer Earth's crust and the atmosphere in relation to their significance to mankind. It focuses on the structures and patterns found at the Earth's surface and on the physical, chemical and biological processes operating within and between the lithosphere, the pedospere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere at various spatial and temporal levels. In addition, Soil, Water, Atmosphere deals with the impact of human activities on the Earth and with sustainability issues on the Earth's surface and atmosphere. \nThe education offered in the programme aims to pass on knowledge, skills and academic attitude that enable its students to recognize, analyse and answer questions in the interrelated fields of soil, water and atmosphere. During the first two years of the programme, students acquire comprehensive knowledge of soil, water and atmosphere and thorough knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry. The programme has a distinctly integrative approach and is unique in its focus on the interaction between the environment and humans. Fieldwork, excursions, and other forms of practical instruction (e.g. lab practicals as well as modelling practicals ) make up an important part of the programme. In the third year, students may choose from a number of advanced courses in the fields of soil, water and atmosphere. Half a year of optional courses makes it possible for students to broaden or deepen their knowledge in or beyond the domain of soil, water or atmosphere, include a minor (a.o. the education minor for physics, math and geography), or prepare for various master's degree programmes. The programme is concluded with an individual thesis.
