Earth Sciences: Environmental Management (track)

Are you passionate about how we can live sustainably within the Earth system? In the Environmental Management track, you learn to combine knowledge on hydro- and geo-ecological systems with inter-disciplinary approaches aiming for the sustainable management of the environment. Examples include the management of nature reserves, urban blue-green spaces, and the revitalisation of degraded landscapes. You will be trained to apply knowledge on how to tackle environmental management problems for the sustainability of society in either a professional setting or in research.
