The MA/MSc in Environmental Sciences and Humanities, a one-year Master’s course, is orientated toward developing the insights of interdisciplinary work for policy-making to develop new ways of thinking about environmental change and social transitions, and to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
