In our environmental technology master’s programmes, you will learn to identify sustainability challenges and consider all aspects of sustainability in society when addressing them. You will also learn about the circular economy and how it keeps products, materials, and other resources at their highest utility and value.
Solutions to global challenges, such as environmental sustainability, call for systems thinking. We need to understand a product’s operational context, including the need to reduce emissions or the use of water or oil-based fuel, end-of-life disassembly, and regional taxation based on footprint. That will help us discover more sustainable solutions.
In our programmes, you will learn to identify sustainability challenges and address them in a multidisciplinary way, taking all aspects of sustainability in society into consideration.
