Page 3 of 7, 105 Master Programs in Environmental Sciences in Europe for 2024

Learn to tackle the most pressing environmental issues of our time at a top-15 faculty worldwide.

This Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc is unique because it approaches the topic from both a science and policy perspective, which means you’ll learn more about applied physical science that's policy-relevant. It’s also the only MSc where you can choose to study climate change with a focus on science or policy - or you can opt for a more comprehensive understanding of both disciplines.

The three-semester MA program in International Water Governance and Water Diplomacy, starting September 2024, offers up-to-date, practice-oriented education for practicing and future water managers, diplomats, national and international civil servants engaged in transboundary or global environmental issues.

The UPPA is opening a 5-year integrated Master’s/Ph.D. program of excellence linked to the research fields of energy and the environment with research-intensive training in multiple fields. The "Master of Applied Social Sciences in Energy and Environmental Transitions ( ASSET )" is a track of the Master's degree "Science of sustainability". It is an interdisciplinary graduate training of excellence in 2 years of training in sustainability sciences from the perspective of social sciences. It deals with the problems of energy and environmental transitions by crossing the knowledge, skills, and experiences of research professors from different disciplinary families and by operating as much as possible in a collaborative configuration (where the knowledge acquired is then shared), and from project-based and problem-oriented teaching.

Developing solutions to our environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, air, and water quality, requires people who both understand problems holistically and can tackle them at the microscopic level. A Master of Environmental Science degree from Stockholm University will give you those tools, through education in either Atmospheric Science, Biogeochemistry or Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The courses in Atmospheric Science and Biogeochemistry will provide the fundamental knowledge of the composition and functioning of the environmental compartments: the atmosphere – the freshwater and ocean – and the land systems.

The program objective is to train nature conservation engineers with the ability to plan, organize and manage the general and special tasks of nature conservation on the international level. They vindicate the nature conservation principles and regulations efficiently with the application of acquired theoretical knowledge. Graduates may continue their studies in the doctoral program.

Natural and anthropogenic hazards and risks account for hundreds of thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in damage each year in a context of global warming and rapidly evolving land-use change. The goal of this M.Sc. is to acquire skills in risk management, data analysis, and GIS/remote sensing to better predict and mitigate environmental hazards and risks. The M.Sc. is project-oriented and will make extensive use of case studies typical of the Mediterranean zone.

Our environment is challenged in numerous ways, including pollution, global warming, overpopulation, natural resource, and ozone depletion. The Environmental Sciences program involves two specialization tracks, each dealing with important aspects of the field and aiming to shed light on and address the challenges above. Students who enroll in the program will select one of the following two tracks.

The unique geographical location makes the UiT The Arctic University of Norway an ideal place to study the arctic environment. Specialize in a biological field that interests you, and acquire knowledge that gives you special skills in your future work. Our general focus of research and teaching is adaptions to life at high latitudes, therein dealing with mechanisms at all levels of the organization, from molecules and cells via organisms to ecosystems, in terrestrial as well as marine environments.

Our Geographer MSc, training covers both areas and provides specialized knowledge to help you learn as thoroughly as possible about the complex relationship of human society and the environment. The Institute of Geography and Environmental Sciences of Eszterházy Károly Catholic University in Eger provides you with the most up-to-date knowledge and skills.

If you are interested in the future of the world and want to have a say in the rapidly changing environment, then EGACC is the program for you. EGACC is an international program designed to teach how to resolve social, environmental, and economic challenges the world is facing today. It covers a very broad field of subjects from policies and legislation to information technology and science in the light of various challenges caused by climatic change. Waste issues, water shortage problems, global warming-induced challenges are all the harsh realities we are facing today, and sadly it is getting worse tomorrow. Environmental Governance and Adaption to Climate Change is a joint study program between the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the University of Tartu. The general objective is to prepare middle managers with comprehensive and specific knowledge and practical skills, who, as specialists, are able to take responsibility and make strategic decisions to formulate and implement environmental management and environmental policy at the international level, considering the climate change and the European Green Deal.

The main objective of the programme is to train professionals who have a broad knowledge across traditional science disciplines and use of tools of scientific research to study and solve environmental issues. Special courses are devoted to developing skills in science communication and facilitating the selection of a thesis topic. Core courses mostly consist of classes in various types of instrumental material analysis, complemented by a summer field course, providing skills that are much sought after in the labour market.

The Graduate Program in Environment Protection Engineering aims at research and engineering activities concerning the mitigating of negative impacts of human activity on the environment. It is primarily addressed to the alumni of the undergraduate program in environmental engineering or other undergraduate programs in engineering, such as civil, mechanical, or chemical engineering.

The graduate will obtain knowledge in environmental engineering and experience in the technology of environmental protection. They will be prepared for solving problems in sustainable development and technology and gaining information from the literature and other sources.

The International Curriculum "Global Change Ecology & Sustainable Development Goals - GCE & SDG" aims to train a generation of scientists and managers able to analyze complex problems related to global change and to propose solutions for mitigation and adaptation with a multi-scale and multidisciplinary approach, applied to both natural and anthropized systems.
