Key Summary
In cooperation with EUCLID (Pôle Universitaire Euclide | Euclid University), an international intergovernmental organization with a university mandate, EULER offers to intergovernmental and national civil servants (as well as select students from the general public) a specialized external degree program called the EULER Online Master in Climate Change (MCC) under the International Relations and Global Development major field. This field of study or specialization covers the full scope of climate-related issues from a policy and education perspective.
It is the only fully online master program in this field organized by an intergovernmental (treaty-based) organization and officially used by diplomats and civil servants over 4 continents. Alumni, students and faculty include current and former ambassadors, minister-counsellors, etc.
Full (officials of CW and EPS); 15% off (IGOs)
EULER's Master in Climate Change Studies and Sustainability represents 40 US credits (120 ECTS) of coursework beyond the Bachelor's. In practice, students may enter the program with a relevant Bachelor's degree, complete 30 to 35 US credits of core doctoral courses, followed by a thesis for 6 credit hours.
The resulting thesis should be a proof-of-competencies for a future PhD application and dissertation.
