As an interdisciplinary master's programme, its lecturers are drawn from many different faculties and departments at the University of Freiburg, as well as from external research institutes and international partner universities.

Their specialties include political sciences, sociology, philosophy, psychology, technological risk assessment, environmental law, educational sciences, environmental economics, environmental policy analysis, landscape management, hydrology, human geography, natural biology, biochemistry, and ecosystem management.

Modules are generally taught by a team of lecturers under the auspices of a module coordinator, who is assisted by a student tutor. A full list of the module lecturers for the coming year is available in the MEG Module Handbook.
