Absolut empfehlenswert
Does not hold up its promises + catastrophic orga
Upon reading the module description from the module book (which hasn´t been updated since 2017!!!) I was stoked to study IMES in cologne.
I was already disappointed on the first day as most of the courses in the module handbook are not provided anymore, and others changed their content and professors.
Especially for a B.Sc. in natural sciences the natural science courses which are offered (Hydrology, Geophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Ecology) are all very basic and I did not really learn anything new. Courses from the social sciences on the other hand sometimes were too difficult e.g. in Environmental Law the prof expects you to know a lot of law stuff already.
Two very hard critique points are definitely the catastrophic organisation! I have been at several universities but something like this exceeds all my bad experiences.
Second thing is: When applying to an Erasmus exchange we are treated as second in line as we don´t belong to any faculty. So getting a place as an Erasmus exchange is rather difficult.
The only thing which is keeping me going are the best commillitones and the city itself! Otherwise, I can highly NOT recommend this Master.

- Best students in the cohort
- Bad organisation, not the best courses
