The programme deals with economics, the environment and natural resources on a national and global level. The common theme is learning how we put our natural resources to use in the best possible way.
The programme combines knowledge from both the social and natural sciences with emphasis placed on economic theories and methods.
You will learn about the interaction and management possibilities in the relationship between economics and physical-biological conditions. You will devote your time to, for example, investigating how to use money efficiently on restoring nature, or how environmental taxes can be used to manage consumption of nitrogen-based fertiliser and chemicals.
You will have courses in, for example:
-
Natural Resource Economics, where you learn how to best utilise natural resources economically. These resources can be oil, wood or metals.
-
Environmental Economics, where you learn how to value nature in economic terms and how to design and implement environmental policy.
-
Applied Ecology, where you, for example, study different theoretic approaches to environmental problems.
-
Environmental and Ecotechnology, where you learn about methods to identify and combat environmental problems.
Teaching varies between lectures, seminars, project work in groups and independent work. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
