![](/uni/files/_processed_/6/3/csm_Panels_9d9532d579.jpg)
In the Graduate Center's project studies, student groups work with faculty on projects related to sustainability and the environment. The topics are diverse. In the "Sustainability on the Table" project, students learn how to handle food in an ecological, resource-conserving way. The project "Solarcampus" imparts the necessary knowledge to develop concepts for saving energy.
The project courses can be taken for one study project or several semesters. Participants can also add credit points and grades to the curriculum. In addition, the project counts toward the Environmental Knowledge certificate program and the Environmental Law certificate.
