This English-taught MSc is an interdisciplinary, research-focused programme with a strong international perspective. It draws on the institution’s strengths in Geography and Economics to give students a broad, integrative understanding of sustainability and societal transformation. The course combines theoretical foundations with applied, project-based learning to prepare graduates for research and practice in sustainable development.
After a shared introductory phase, students choose project seminar specialisations in Economics, Human Geography, or Physical Geography. A range of elective modules teaches advanced methods — for example, Advanced Statistics, Empirical Social Research, Environmental Modelling, and Remote Sensing — enabling students to tailor their methodological training to their interests.
Graduates will deepen their understanding of ecological systems, human–environment interactions, and pathways for innovation and transition. The programme also emphasises independent research skills and professional competencies such as science communication, teamwork, and leadership, equipping students to contribute to sustainability solutions in academic, public, or private sectors.

If you’d like, you can also tell me whether to emphasize career outcomes, research opportunities, or internship pathways — I’ll tailor the rewrite accordingly once I have the curriculum text.
This master’s program is aimed primarily at students who hold a completed Bachelor of Science degree in Economics or in Geography (either Physical Geography or Human Geography). Applicants with equivalent international degrees in these fields are also eligible.
Candidates who studied a different subject can still apply, provided their undergraduate transcript shows sufficient relevant coursework. The admissions focus is on demonstrated academic grounding in conceptual modules, subject-specific content in economics or geography, and basic training in research methods.
International applicants should be prepared to document these course credits on their transcript; providing course titles, ECTS (or local credit) conversions, and brief course descriptions can help the admissions team assess equivalency.

Graduates are prepared for research and policy-oriented roles that require interdisciplinary expertise in sustainability, including positions in academic research, government agencies, international organisations, NGOs, and environmental consultancies. The programme’s emphasis on methods and project work also suits careers in data analysis, environmental assessment, and impact evaluation.
The combination of empirical research training, sector-specific specialisations, and transferable skills in communication and leadership equips alumni to work on sustainability transitions, design evidence-based interventions, and take on roles that bridge science, policy, and practice.
