Location of University of Groningen
The two-year Master´s degree programme in Energy and Environmental Sciences is connected to the Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG). It has two specializations: System studies on Energy and Environment, and Experimental studies of Energy and Climate.
The first specialization has a strong design-orientated, systemsapproach character based in natural sciences. What are the possibilities for a sustainable future for a region or a country? What characterizes the optimal transition routes towards a sustainable future? This specialization is linked to the ESRIG Centre for Energy and Environmental Studies (IVEM).
The second specialization is linked to the ESRIG Centre for Isotope Research (CIO) with important contributions from other groups within ESRIG with an experimental, energy-related research programme. It covers a range of research topics such as the enhanced greenhouse effect and the carbon cycle in atmosphere and ocean, gas combustion studies, geo-energy, polymer solar cells, biofuels, climate history. It focuses on experimental methods.
Both paths include a collective part of three compulsory modules and a specialist part. In addition, the programmes include an optional part and two research projects.
Career prospects
Environmental scientists from the University of Groningen are known for their systems-approach and all-round skills.
