The Environmental Sciences Master programme at Wageningen University and Research invites you to develop innovative, sustainable solutions to environmental threats. The programme allows you to specialise through a choice of ten different majors in order to work on a better environment from a natural sciences, technological or social sciences perspective. Many combinations belong to the possibilities within this study programme. For instance, offer solutions to pollution through the use of smart technologies, or apply economic instruments to influence the behaviour of people.
Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control environmental and sustainability issues.
