Teaching & Supervision

During the last 22 years, Schrum has contributed to higher education as responsible lecturer for a number of obligatory and key lectures in different master and bachelor programs at the Universities of Bergen and Hamburg, Germany. She moreover contributed to relevant lectures as part of the PhD education and was appointed as lecturer for several summer schools. Schrum was responsible supervisor or co-supervisor for 13 master/bachelor students and 20 PhD students.

Schrum was involved in the planning of study programs at the Universities of Bergen and Hamburg. In 2007 she led an international consortium, which received funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers (NORDEN) to coordinate the development of one of the first Joint Nordic Master programs (Marine Ecosystems and Climate). Schrum served as coordinator of this program on behalf of the University of Bergen since it has been established as a joint master program of Universities from Norway, Island, Denmark and Faroe Islands in 2009 until the program was completed in November 2015.
