Environmental Management MSc

The MSc in Environmental Management explores the exploitation of natural environments and the relationships between sustainable environmental management and natural ecosystems. It examines how sustainable environmental management and behaviour can be promoted and achieved.

The MSc in Environmental Management addresses the socioeconomic, ecological, and environmental challenges associated with the provision of goods and services, and the sustainable management of the natural and built environment, which cannot be achieved with business-as-usual practices. Students study theoretical, practical, and legal frameworks for promoting sustainable environmental practices at individual, institutional and governmental levels. They learn how to innovate, respond to new and emerging challenges, and work effectively in changing and unfamiliar situations.
