The global food, water and energy crises force us to develop new strategies and means of managing natural resources. Therefore, experts having a wide range of knowledge to analyse complex human-environmental systems and to develop appropriate solutions are in great demand.
Tropical and subtropical regions typically face particular challenges due to pressures from population growth and economic development combined with highly vulnerable environments.
The objective of the M.Sc. "Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics" (TERMA) is to provide the participants with the appropriate knowledge and skills to analyse current problems related to the usage and management of land, water, and energy resources at various scales and to develop adequate solutions towards sustainable development. To this end, the ITT emphasises a holistic approach combining technological, economic and socio-political aspects of environmental and resources management.
The master programme is embedded in the international and interdisciplinary learning and research environment of the ITT.
Contents
The two-year M.Sc. Programme consists of three semesters of course modules and project work and one semester of field research for the master thesis
Classes take place from Monday to Thursday from 3 pm to 9 pm.
We provide a comprehensive foundation in the geography of tropical and subtropical regions, economics, international development and management. According to your previous studies and personal interest you can choose one of the following focus areas:
* Water Management
* Urban and Regional Management
* Environmental and Land Use Management
* Renewable Energy Management
Teaching is practice-oriented and is based on case studies, field visits and ongoing research at the ITT. Seminars and team projects enhance your project management, analytical and intercultural communication skills. Intensive tutoring supports you to develop your scientific abilities and individual research agenda.
After graduation you will become part of the ITT Alumni community, an international network of experts on natural resources management with ample opportunities of continuing education.
