This interdisciplinary program covers a wide range of topics, including ecology, sustainability, environmental policy, climate change, and conservation, providing a holistic understanding of the relationship between humans and the environment.
Through a combination of theoretical learning and practical applications, students will explore environmental issues from scientific, social, and policy-oriented perspectives. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates to become leaders in environmental management, research, and advocacy in both public and private sectors.
Key highlights include:
Sustainability and Conservation: Learn about sustainable practices, resource management, and strategies for biodiversity conservation in response to global environmental challenges.
