510 Climate Policy and Environmental Management Masters Degree Programs

The MSc Global Energy and Climate Policy degree programme addresses important issues of our time. The use of energy – electricity generation, transportation, heating/cooling and industrial consumption – is the most important driver of climate change by far. Effectively addressing this urgent global challenge therefore requires transformational changes in the ways we produce, consume and govern energy.

The MSc in Environmental Education and Sustainability trains professionals who possess theoretical and practical knowledge that will enable to play a decisive role in the development of environmental awareness, respect for nature, and increased sensitivity to environmental and sustainability issues.

The Impact MSc in Sustainability Science & Climate Solutions provides a scientific and practical foundation for addressing climate and environmental challenges. Learn to design evidence-based, scalable solutions grounded in sustainability science. This programme prepares you to lead initiatives that contribute to measurable environmental progress.

The Master of Science in Energy Policy and Climate will prepare the next generation of interdisciplinary professionals to address the imposing challenges posed by climate change for human institutions and ecosystems and the potentially transformative role of sustainable energy systems. Students develop a firm grasp of climate change science and the potential impacts of climate change in this century and beyond.

The Master of Arts Degree in Environment, Development, and Peace (EDP) provides comprehensive training in issues of sustainable development, environmental governance, natural resource management, and environmental conflict management from both ecological and social perspectives. It encompasses a broad range of subjects and themes, including Food Systems, Water Management, Forestry, Coastal Resources, Climate Change, Urban Ecology, and Social Movements. The program focuses on the human dimensions of the environment-development nexus, highlighting the connections between local perspectives and broader processes at the national, regional and global levels and emphasizing the importance of political, economic structures and inequality in access to resources as key drivers in environmental conflict and global environmental change. The program prepares students for a wide range of careers in both environmental and development policy and programming in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.

The Master of Arts in Environmental and Sustainability Policy (MA-ESP) at the Trachtenberg School offers a multidisciplinary approach to environmental and sustainability studies. This STEM program prepares students to enter environmental policy careers in government, nonprofit organizations, the private sector and environmental advocacy groups.

Our MSc Environmental Sustainability course is your gateway to mastering the knowledge and skills needed to tackle pressing global challenges. You’ll draw upon local, regional, and international insights to help you lead the change towards a more sustainable future. The rapid pace of change to our climate and the development of sustainable policy demands an education that stays ahead of the curve.

As a student of the Master’s Programme in Transdisciplinary Studies of Climate, Environment, and Energy (TRACEE) you are empowered to become a change-maker. Our hands-on programme equips you with the tools to understand the complex problems of climate, energy, and environmental systems. By following TRACEE, you will enhance your skills to create innovative solutions from the perspectives of natural science, social science and humanities, through what we call a transdisciplinary approach.

Global socio-ecological problems call for multidisciplinary solutions that transcend the usual boundaries of science and decision-making. In the Master's Programme in Environmental Change and Global Sustainability (ECGS), you are trained to tackle global environmental and sustainability challenges by lectures, seminars, project learning and laboratory and field courses.

The Master’s degree program offers a comprehensive view of the environment, key to modern naturalists, by combining theoretical knowledge with high-level scientific and practical training. Students will acquire advanced skills in the system analysis of the natural environment in a changing climate and will learn how to master the scientific method for research in natural sciences, the modern tools for environmental monitoring (e.g. remote sensing), data acquisition, and statistical data analysis and storage, the principles and techniques of geological, floristic and faunistic investigation, and the methods for environmental impact assessments.

The Master Program in Environmental Engineering for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation provides an advanced technical background for careers in environmental engineering, particularly in consultancy, planning, design, and management of actions, structures, and infrastructures for mitigation of and improvement in environmental resilience to climate change effects.

This programme is designed to train professionals who can develop and implement sustainable engineering solutions to address global environmental challenges. The Master of Science in Sustainability and Environmental Engineering (MSc SEE) is a graduate programme that provides students with advanced knowledge and skills in the fields of environmental science, engineering and sustainable resource management practices.

Over the next 30 years, more than $100 trillion will be invested worldwide in infrastructure, as the impacts of climate change accelerate and the need for resilient, adaptable systems grows. This postgraduate programme will prepare you to take a leading role in this transformation, whether influencing policy, directing investment, or delivering innovative solutions.

WACOMA -- Water and Coastal Management is the English taught curriculum of the Master's degree programme in Science and technologies for environmental sustainability. The Curriculum deals with analysis and management of marine coastal areas. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students gain a deep understanding of coastal processes, measures for mitigation and adaptation and ability to manage risks associated with natural and human-induced events, consequences of global changes. Classroom lessons are enriched by practical activities in lab and field trips

The Master of Science degree in Integrated Science and Technology (M.S. in ISAT) is a 33-credit accelerated program offering a concentration in Environmental Management and Sustainability that prepares graduates to be leaders that drive innovation and commerce while positively impacting the well-being and sustainability of our planet and its people. Our graduates share a holistic understanding of sustainability and the environment and bring a systems-based, problem-solving approach to their work in private companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations.
