You have a great deal of freedom in customising your Master’s in Environmental & Energy Management.
As a student, you can tailor your Master’s to your own wishes and ambitions. This means that you will choose a specialisation which enables you to develop expertise within a specific domain. Your choice determines the type of Sustainability Challenges Lab you will work on in your second semester, as well as the research theme(s) you will cover in your master’s thesis.
