The management of environmental and sustainability issues requires communication and collaboration among many different actors in society. Through communication, different and often conflicting perspectives come together to address questions like what is a sustainable society, how should wildlife be protected, which environmental actions should governments prioritise?

You will learn how to work with communication, facilitate dialogue and analyse governance processes; all of which are key competences for the management of environmental and sustainability challenges. Writing is an important component of the programme.

Diversity is a strong feature of this programme and your fellow students come from many different countries, speak a wide variety of languages and have a variety of educational backgrounds such as natural science, social science and technology.

As a Master’s graduate in environmental science you will have the knowledge required to work with environmental communication, both locally and globally, possibly as an environmental coordinator or officer, a facilitator of dialogue and conflict management or as a researcher in environmental sciences.

At SLU, we engage students in some of the most important issues facing the 21st century, such as global warming, the food crisis, and our dependence on non-renewable energy.

The teaching style at SLU promotes critical thinking. As a student, you are expected to question beliefs that are often taken for granted and we also expect you to question what you learn. Debating with classmates and lecturers is accepted and welcomed. SLU’s teaching staff crave academic excellence and are focused on producing a highly employable student body. Communication skills, the ability to work in a team and solve problems, an awareness of the commercial landscape and work experience are just some of the qualities that make our graduates employable.

To strengthen your ability to build a career in an increasingly competitive job market, as a student at SLU you are encouraged to learn through experience.

You study real-life situations, take a hands-on approach to problem-solving, and make valuable contact with the business sector. Lectures, tutorials, laboratory work, fieldwork, group projects, and independent study are just some of the teaching methods used here.

Assessment procedures also vary depending on the course and can include written assignments and examinations, individual and group projects, laboratory reports, and oral presentations. Here at SLU we are committed to developing the internationalization aspect of our syllabus, network, and student experience.

Global perspectives have been integrated into the design, development, and presentation of all programs and courses. We welcome students from all over the world and by offering students the chance to make important international connections, we are increasing our students’ global employability.
