Study objectives
The interdisciplinaryMaster in Environmental Science and Management organized by the Université catholique de Louvain is designed for students and professionals who have already done a course of study at Master level and who wish to broaden their field to include other disciplines involved in environmental management and sustainable development.
General presentation of the programmeThe programme includes : core subjects including compulsory activities (45 credits) and a dissertation (15 credits). In addition, basic activities (maximum 15 credits) must have been taken to qualify for the Master degree (see Admission Conditions). Each individual programme must be approved by the coordinator in charge of the Master.
Positioning of the programme
Although it is open to certain bachelors, the Master in Environmental Science and Management should ideally follow a first Master in human sciences, exact sciences or applied sciences. Its strongly interdisciplinary nature will provide second cycle students who wish to have a professional career in environment with useful additional knowledge in the areas of science and the integrated management of environmental issues.
Doctoral programmes : this Master does not lead to a doctorate

Specific procedures :
L'étudiant doit avoir obtenu au moins 70% des points ou une mention équivalente lors de l'obtention du diplôme qui lui permet d'accéder au master. En outre, son dossier de candidature, comportant un curriculum vitae et une lettre de motivation, sera soumis à l'approbation de la commissionde gestion du programme.Strong points of the pedagogical approach
The notion of sustainability is an important one in environmental issues ; for this reason, the training places particular emphasis on the concept of sustainable development. This means taking a long term view of what is at stake regarding the exploitation of natural resources, the continuous protection of quality of life, the synergies between all the perspectives of the different scientific disciplines and a coherent overview of how the ecosystems and the sociosystems interact.
This training therefore involves a solid programme of learning ranging across all the different perspectives related to the environment, including economic, social, demographic and legal aspects.
