Описание программы обучения "Environmental Governance"
Since its establishment in 2005, the MEG programme has been training academics in the broader field of Environmental Governance, understood as new modes of social co-ordination among market, state and civil society actors.
MEG is exceptional in its highly interdisciplinary approach: at its core it is social-scientific, but it provides students with basic ‘scientific literacy’ in the more technical aspects of pressing environmental challenges.
The programme has been developed with a clear ambition to be ranked among the top 10 international study programmes in the field of sustainability, society and environment worldwide.
About 35 students are selected each year based on criteria of excellence and geographical representation (industrialized countries, countries in transition, developing countries as well as geographic regions). The Programme targets future leaders with grand, innovative ideas about environmental governance arrangements beyond the traditional functional, structural and territorial boundaries (‘sustainability designers’). The ideal MEGie embraces and understands the complexities of sustainable development, but is also capable of finding ways to implement solutions in organisations, enterprises and administrations in a context-sensitive manner (‘sustainability facilitators’).
MEG is accredited in accordance with international standards for higher education. In 2006, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) acknowledged the programme as a Development-Related Postgraduate Course and thus offers a limited number of DAAD/EPOS scholarships.

Учебный план программы обучения "Environmental Governance"
The MEG study programme is designed as a two-year (4 semesters), full-time programme (120 ECTS). It aims at:
Realizing - The development of a sound knowledge base of the most pressing environmental issues facing the planet and their underlying societal causes;
Understanding - The reflection on human-environment interactions from a wide spectrum of disciplines, approaches, and world-views;
Managing - The provision of methodological knowledge and skills for the context-sensitive design and management of environmental governance processes.
An important feature of the modularised course system is that the students play an active role at all levels, including teaching and research. The course system does not only convey specialised knowledge, but also trains students to handle scientific methods with confidence. Key qualifications are supported through a number of techniques, such as discussions, presentations, working groups and written assignments.
The structure and content of each module are flexible; in most cases courses are organised by more than one lecturer. The number of participants in each course is limited to ensure small effective student groups.
Students can also choose to replace up to two elective modules with a selected topic.
All modules are taught in English.

Методика оценки заявок
Decisive for the calculation of the applicant's procedural grade is the overall grade of the university degree shown as a decimal number in accordance with Section 3 Paragraph 1 No. 1 or the arithmetic mean of the grades of all examinations already completed. The grades of foreign educational certificates are to be converted into the German grading system. Based on the overall impression, the selection committee sets a grade between 1 and 5 for each of the two reviews in accordance with Section 4 (1), Clause 3, No. 6. The grades of the two reviews are added up and then divided by two. If the average grade of the two reviews is between 1.0 and 1.5, the procedural grade according to sentence 1 is increased by 0.2. If the average grade is worse than 1.5, but at least 2.5, the procedural grade is increased by 0.1. The selection committee grades the letter of motivation according to § 4 paragraph 1 sentence 3 no.8 based on the following criteria with a grade between 1 and 5:
- Convincing presentation of one's own study interests in relation to the content of the Master’s degree in Environmental Governance at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität,
- structured and clear expression,
- correct external form and spelling.
If the grade for the letter of motivation is between 1 and 1.5, the procedural grade improves by 0.3. If the grade is lower than 1.5, but at least 2.0, the procedural grade improves by 0.2. If the grade is worse than 2.0, but at least 2.5, the procedural grade improves by 0.1. If proof of completed vocational training within the meaning of Section 7 (2) No. 4 is provided, the procedural grade is increased by 0.3. If there is evidence of practical work within the meaning of Section 7 (2) No. 5 with a duration of at least six weeks, the procedural grade is increased by 0.1, with a duration of at least three months by 0.2 and with a duration of at least six months by 0.4. If proof of a stay abroad within the meaning of § 7 Paragraph 2 No. 6 with a duration of at least six months, the procedural grade is increased by 0.1 and with a duration of at least twelve months by 0.2. Each of the selection criteria according to § 7 Paragraph 2 Nos. 4 to 6 can only be counted once. If an applicant fulfills several of these selection criteria at the same time, an increase of a maximum of 0.5 takes place.
(2) In accordance with the procedural grade determined in accordance with Paragraph 1, a ranking list of the participants in the selection procedure is created, with the stipulation that each of the cultural areas listed below may account for a maximum of 35 percent of the available study places and within a cultural area a maximum of 50 percent of the respective quota on a state:
- Africa and Middle East
- Asia
- Europe
- North America and Australia
- South and Central America.
Applicants are assigned to the cultural areas and the associated countries on the basis of their nationality.
(3) In the event of an equal ranking, § 20 Paragraph 3 of the University Allocation Ordinance applies.
