The official master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability (SAES) of the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) will start next Monday, September 26th.



The master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability has 4 specialisations:




  • Related to the protection of the environment against the potentially harmful effects of human activity and to the improvement of environmental quality in order to achieve greater well-being.

  • Related to sustainable development of systems, optimising and minimising resource use and waste production.

  • Related to impacts of global change and particularly to climate change, and their mitigation.

  • Related to social, economic, biophysical, cultural and ethical issues that intervene in the management of human economies and their interactions with the natural world.



The master's degree offers a mixed approach. On the one hand, it includes advanced course components for graduates of Environmental Sciences. On the other, it meets the needs of other graduates interested in incorporating environmental knowledge and skills into their ¡academic training, based on fields such as Ecological Economics and Environmental Management, Analysis of the Natural Environment, Environmental Technology, Industrial Ecology or Global Change, all of which are considered specialisations in this master's degree.
