About the MSc in Environmental and Resource Management:

The MSc in Environmental and Resource Management (ERM) is a cross-disciplinary programme which is focused on issues that affect everyone: individuals, families, companies, the society in general and the solutions for the environmental challenges of tomorrow in particular. The programme combines theory and practice, giving you both a solid theoretical basis and a set of practical tools that are useful in working with the subjects in your future career. The programme is designed to provide knowledge in the field of technological/natural sciences and social sciences and ultimately combine these two disciplines.

You should choose this programme if you are interested in finding balances among environmental, economic and social interests.

Career opportunities:

Graduates on this programme attain a set of competencies, which allow them to work with a great number of different tasks in environmental management – both in the public and the private sector, as well as in NGOs and stakeholder organizations.

Graduates will be able to design and conduct analysis of existing or future environmental strategies and policies within an organization or at a societal level.

As a M.Sc. in Environmental and Resource Management your job opportunities will be many: for example, working as an advisor for business leaders, who must consider environmental impacts of their decisions and develop competitive advantage.

Environmental leaders will benefit from the business skills in combination with natural science, technical and economic issues in their proposed solutions to environmental problems.
