Energy and Environmental Sciences

What are the causes of various large-scale global environmental issues such as climate change? Can we identify options to solve these problems? Are options different for different countries?

While the global challenges with respect to the environment and sustainability are huge and can only be addressed in an interdisciplinary approach, they also call for specialization. The Energy and Environmental Sciences (EES) programme provides a series of introductory courses that give a general overview of the problem-field, and then allows for specialization towards any of a broad range of subjects within energy or sustainability, treating it from a natural science perspective. However, it trains the students that the natural sciences/technical approach to, and solution for problems is only a part of the story and collaboration with other scientific disciplines is vital.

Energy and Environmental Sciences

This is a two year research master degree programme. The first year strarts with 30 ECTS of obligatory courses, addressing the relevant theories and methodologies in our research field and 30 ECTS electives. These electives also include courses from other faculties, like economics, psychology or spatial sciences.

The second year focuses on doing research and consists of two research projects. The first project is an internal research project carried out within the ESRIG research institute or affiliated institute. This implies that a lot of options and subjects are available. The second project can be another internal research project at ESRIG or an external research internship/research project outside the university (company, consultancy, government, other university) or even abroad.

Your mentor will help you to design a tailor made study program that fits your interests and matches your future career wishes. More information on the subjects can be found here: https://ocasys.rug.nl/current/catalog/programme/60608. 

It is also possible to follow a more business & policy related programme called Science, Business & Policy (https://www.rug.nl/research/irees/education/sciencebusinessandpolicy/)
