26 Environmental Degree Programs in Norway

The Joint Nordic Master Programme in Environmental Law (NOMPEL) aims to provide first class learning for students who want to gain expertise in international and EU environmental law, including those who want to subsequently pursue a PhD. The objective is to provide advanced knowledge in environmental law and insight into how crucial environmental issues are regulated internationally, within the EU, and in the Nordic states.

Explore the geology and ecology of western Norway! From Mountain to Fjord is an environmental course focusing on interdisciplinary natural science with a main emphasis on the geology and ecology of Western Norway.

Applied Ecology is a field within ecology that puts the science of ecology into practical use to address contemporary challenges. This includes the application of ecological concepts to environmental problem solving, policy, and management including the sustainable use and management of biological resources and services such as wildlife, fish, and forest. 

The LL.M. program aims to broaden the traditional approach to the Law of the Sea from jurisdictional issues to also include substantial law such as conservation and sustainable use of biological resources and protection of biodiversity and the environment. Although the program of study has a clear global profile, it also has a distinct Arctic dimension.

Global warming can enhance local extreme weather conditions, which in turn can affect the frequency of geohazards such as landslides, avalanches and flooding. This course provides you with a broad understanding of the interaction between atmospheric and Earth's surface processes that control the occurrence of potentially catastrophic geohazardous events.

The MSc Agroecology is a European program coordinated by ISARA and leading to a double degree between ISARA and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). You have a strong interest in sustainable agriculture and agroecosystem management ? Join us !

The world is facing difficult climate challenges, with more extreme weather, floods and rock or snow avalanches. The Master in Climate Change Management gives you sought-after and interdisciplinary competence in how we can achieve a sustainable transition and greener behaviour.

This program concerns the environmental challenges of our time and seeks solutions that combine both natural and social science approaches. This degree qualifies students to contribute to international, sustainable development.

The master in Environmental Science integrates physical and biological sciences, the study of the environment and the solution of environmental problems. It gives you the knowledge you need to contribute to a better future.

Want to help shape the future? With a Master’s degree in Energy and Environmental Technology you’ll have the opportunity to develop future energy resources and help ensure that we prepare for the future with more efficient and cleaner energy sources. Hydrogen technology or environmental biotechnology. Water treatment. Alternative energy systems or life-cycle assessment. Process safety and combustion.

A Master of Science in Ecology and Environmental Management provides you with the theoretical knowledge, the interdisciplinary competence and the generic skills required to contribute to a sustainable management of ecosystems and natural resources. This programme is a multidisciplinary study that gives you a unique combination of professional and management skills. The study includes a broad scope of relevant research questions and challenges within the fields of ecology and environmental management.

We do research on evolutionary processes in relation to the genetic structure and selection and human issues related to environmental impacts.

Are you interested in solving environmental challenges due to the nuclear industry and waste management? There is an urgent need for university-trained candidates within nuclear sciences, including radioecology.

Ecology is a key component in understanding global environmental challenges. There is a growing concern over the human impact on the environment, and the need for ecologists has never been greater.
