Global Sustainability Science

Sustainability is complicated. How can we find a way for both humans and nature to thrive alongside each other on our rapidly changing planet? By examining sustainability issues from different perspectives, at the local, regional, and global levels, you will learn how to create action for a just and greener future. As a critical thinker, you will not only learn to understand the theory, but also acquire skills that can help make the transition to sustainability. Are you ready to do your part?

The right balance

To prepare you for your future as a bridge builder, problem solver or change maker, Global Sustainability Science offers a well-balanced curriculum of courses in the exact sciences and social sciences, as well as interdisciplinary combination courses. There’s a reason for that. Exact sciences courses, such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, give you insight into natural, biochemical and hydrological processes (like the water cycle) that keep the earth turning. Social sciences courses, such as Management, Economics, and Innovation, teach you how socio-economic processes contribute to solutions for sustainability challenges. The programme offers various specialisation tracks, allowing you to tailor the programme to your own preferences
