Master of Science [M.S] [Sustainable Development] From Uppsala University

The term ?sustainable development? has several definitions. A common denominator is that living standards for human beings must improve ? but without jeopardizing the possibility for future generations to enjoy equally good conditions. Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have jointly created the Master Programme in Sustainable Development to meet the environmental demands from the market and government authorities.

As a student of the Master Programme in Sustainable Development at Uppsala University, you will use comprehensive work methods where the sum is greater than the individual parts. In addition to the content of your specialisation, you will gain holistic interdisciplinary competence in the field of sustainable development. Students who have studied sustainable development have learned to listen to the opinions of others, and to defend their own.

The objective of this master programme is to enable you to utilise aspects of sustainable development in your future professional activity, irrespective of what you work with. This could be social planning, education, research, organization of supranational agencies, natural resource management and much more.

Career

After you obtain your degree, career prospects include: Teacher, Engineer, Economist, Product Developer, Logistician, Designer, Lawyer, Decision- Maker, Educator and Researcher.

The programme can also lead to work in bodies such as the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, UNESCO, the United Nations, as well as local authorities and county councils or in the transport sector. You could also work for non-profit organizations.
