International Environmental Studies

The International Environmental Studies Master Programme (M-IES) will provide you with insight and knowledge relevant for addressing environmental challenges at global, national, and local levels. You will learn analytic tools and practical skills to help formulate policies and strategies for sustainable development. The programme combines interdisciplinary research methods with empirical insights related to a broad range of environmental issues (climate change, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, food security, pollution, and more). Student-active learning strategies are emphasised, including excursions, field courses, internships, and dynamic student collaboration. A wide selection of courses will allow you to specialise in topics such as political ecology, sustainable agri-food systems, environmental governance, or green economy. The programme also offers the possibility of study exchange with other universities (global or domestic). The M-IES programme gives you the opportunity to study in a unique learning environment with an interdisciplinary and international composition of students at a green and beautiful campus. The M-IES programme attracts students from all over the world. This programme is suited for students who wish to combine academic analysis with real-world knowledge to understand the complex environmental challenges facing the world today. The M-IES degree is a two-year, full-time English language programme.
