Overview
The degree programme is geared towards natural and social scientists who are interested in the field of sustainability, want to systematically broaden their knowledge and, ideally, already have some initial experience (e.g. internships, voluntary work, work experience).
The focus is set on developing the scientific skills needed for students who wish to contribute to the transformation towards a more environmentally and socially accountable society. The programme consists of different tracks, allowing students to specialise in the natural or social sciences depending on their previous education.
A mandatory semester abroad at one of the participating universities (Graz (Austria), Utrecht (Netherlands), Venice (Italy), Basel (Switzerland) and Hiroshima (Japan)) is an integral part of the degree course.
Possibility of an additional mobility semester at TERI (India) or Stellenbosch (South Africa).
