You want to solve problems like climate change and plastic soup. Environmental Science for Sustainability, Ecosystems and Technology turns you into an environmental professional.
Stopping climate change is a major challenge for now and the future. Just like protecting valuable ecosystems or tackling bad air quality in cities. We teach you how to develop solutions for this. You use a combination of biology and chemistry, also management and technology.
Research the habitat of dolphins in Greece. Manage a company's CO2 emissions. Produce bioplastic from wastewater. These are examples of assignments that you can carry out with the competencies, skills and knowledge gained through our programme.
Through internationally oriented projects, training and courses, during this study you will learn about subjects like sustainable energy technologies, bio-based waste management, biomimetics, clean-up technologies, cost-benefit analysis and environmental policy and law.
The ESSET programme is rooted in the natural sciences, tackling real-world problems and offering project-based solutions. You will gain valuable career-oriented experience through projects for real clients, international field trips and 2 work placements.
