Overview

By critically analyzing current policies and initiatives, we contribute to achieving the societal transformations necessary to address sustainability challenges.

The Environment and Society Studies programme offered at Radboud University is small scale and prepares you to play an active and effective role in the transformation to a sustainable and just society. Within the Master's Environment and Society Studies, you have a choice between four Master's specialisations.

Pre-Master's

When your education background does not grant you direct admission to the Master's programme in Environment and Society Studies, you can, in some cases, enrol in a pre-Master's programme. A pre-Master’s programme is (usually) a one-year programme (60 EC’s) especially designed to bridge the gap between your prior education and our Master’s in Environment and Society Studies. Finishing one of these programmes grants direct access to the Master’s programme.
