Location of Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
A long history of intensive use and misuse of natural resources has forced Europeans to deal with environmental problems. European countries are therefore now leading in environmental research and its use in management, legislation and technology. EU is a principle actor in all these questions and an important platform for building of knowledge and enforcement of policies.
The EnvEuro programme is a co-operation between four European universities. The Master is focused on soil, water and biodiversity and the aim is to give students European and international perspectives on research as well as planning and management in the environmental sector.
The EnvEuro Master in Environmental Science is developed by four universities in the EuroLeague for Life Sciences network:
* University of Copenhagen, Denmark
* University of Hohenheim, Germany
* Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden
* University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Austria
Students completing the Master in Environmental Science will be awarded a full Master degree in Environmental Science from two of these universities.
Future
Graduated EnvEuro students with other universities than SLU as home university are now working as PhD students or with environmental science issues in the governmental and private sector or as teachers, both in their home country and abroad. Thanks to studies at two universities you will have great opportunities to build net-works that will help you in your future career and in development of understanding within several aspects of environmental science.
This is the first year you can start EnvEuro studies at SLU so there are no information on the future of students with SLU as home university. In the other EnvEuro universities, the master programme started 2007 and the number of students have increased each year since then.
Contents
The first year you study at one of the four EnvEuro universities (home university) and the second at one of the others (host university), where you also do your MSc thesis. If you chose SLU as your home university you can chose Copenhagen (Denmark), Hohenheim (Germany) or Vienna (Austria) as your host university.
Within each of the EnvEuro specialisations Ecosystems and Biodiversity, Soil Resources and Land Use and Water Resources you select courses at your home university and your host university that prepare you for different future careers; research and further academic studies on one side and management and practical planning and solution in relation to environmental issues on the other side.
All students start the first semester together with a course on Environmental management in Europe. It starts with a week at Copenhagen University where you meet all students and principal teachers from the four participating universities. Thereafter you go back to your home university and the course continues as an e-learning distance course on part time. Parallel to this you study basic courses (Basic Semester Package).
During the following semester you chose courses at the home university within your specialisations (1st Advanced Semester Package). The next semester you go to your host university and continue your specialisation (2nd Advanced Semester Package) and the last semester you do your master thesis. You can get a double degree – both from your home and host university.
It should be noticed that courses within the programme have specific prerequisite and it is not guaranteed that by fulfilling the requirements for the programme that the prerequisites for all courses are fulfilled.
A requirement to be admitted to EnvEuro – European Master in Environmental Science is that you apply and are admitted both through the national Swedish application system (and through the Consortium for EnvEuro (
