How do we find solutions to the world´s growing environmental problems? Would you like a career dealing with environmental issues in national or international businesses?
We are increassingly aware of our responsibilities in the use and management of the natural environment. Knowledge is needed to find solutions to growing environmental problems, such as pollution and depleted resources. This programme will enable you develop the knowledge and skills needed to address these important issues.
Knowledge and understanding of our biological natural resources and their sustainable use is urgently needed. In this programme, you will heighten your knowledge of economics or business administration, and learn how that knowledge can be applied to environmental issues. Environmental issues are brought to the classroom via SLU´s extensive links with natural resource-based industries. These meetings aid understanding and application of skills in economics and business administration as a tool for addressing current problems.
Future Prospects
This programme is offered in English, and is intended for students who have a bachelors degree in business administration or economics and want to further develop their knowledge with a focus on environmental and natural resource issues. After completing the programme, you will have the competence to work with environmental issues in national and international businesses and organisations, as well as in government agencies and other public sector organizations.
As an economist with a profile in environmental and natural resource issues you will have broad employment opportunities in industry, media, consultancy firms, authorities, international organizations and policy agencies. You will also be well prepared to apply for a Ph D programme.
Contents
Dependent upon your choice of major subject, either business administration or economics, you will develop understanding and insight into the use and management of natural resources in local as well as global perspectives.

Within the business administration major, you will have the opportunity to study environmental management, production economics, quantitative finance, strategic management, environmental risk management and accounting, and business ethics.
