You will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to drive change and become the sustainability leaders of tomorrow.
Dramatically rising and unsustainable resource use is one of the key challenges of the 21st century, with potential negative consequences such as ecosystem collapses, resource scarcities and political instability. The Sustainable Resources MSc will give you the tools to work towards more efficient, circular, equitable and sustainable resource use.
Our curriculum reflects the global, multi-dimensional nature of understanding resources.
