Master's Programme in Environmental Analysis and Management, 120 ECTS

Environmental issues are complex, intertwined with other policy areas and often require a broad analysis to identify potential solutions. The programme will employ different approaches for environmental analysis involving environmental databases, cartography, remote sensing, geographical analysis as well as conceptual and practical modelling and relate the use of these to real world policy, planning and management issues. Uniquely, the programme is a co-operative Masters programme between Stockholm University and The Institute of Environmental Science and Management, University of Latvia, Riga, Latvia. This master programme will articulate learning outcome in several fields, for example remote sensing, geographic information systems, explorative data analysis and visualization, methods for environmental impact analysis, environmental management as well as methods for modelling. The programme is based on course modules at both universities and will confer a degree from both universities. Mandatory 15 HECs modules are: Applied Environmental Monitoring and Modelling (SU), Geographic Analysis and Visualization in GIS (SU), Environmental Management (UL), one of either Environmental Planning and EIS (UL) or Integrated Costal Zone Planning (UL) and a Degree Project course of 30–60 HECs. The program is directed to students from countries within EU/ESS and entails studies both in Stockholm and Riga, Latvia.
