Water and Climate
During our two-year Water and Climate program at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, you will learn theory, field measurements and computer modelling. You will discuss and analyse water challenges and develop risk-reducing management options.
River Delta Development
In this two-year River Delta Development Master programme from Van Hall Larenstein, University of Applied Sciences, you will address the most pressing challenges of this century, such as flooding, subsidence and salinisation of groundwater.
Economic Geography
In Economic Geography programme from University of Groningen, you study the characteristics of economic activities across places and learn how to stimulate economic development.
Ecology and Evolution (Joint Degree 3 Universities) - Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution
How do organisms and their environment interact at both a molecular level and a global level? If this is an area that interests you, and you want to make a contribution to science and sustainability, the Ecology and Evolution (Joint Degree 3 Universities) - Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution course at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is for you.

Earth System Sciences
The Earth System Sciences programme from Wageningen University and Research teaches students about the physical, chemical and/or ecological processes in soils, water and the atmosphere from an Earth Sciences perspective at different time and spatial scales.
Political Science - Global Environmental Politics
The Political Science - Global Environmental Politics programme from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam explores the political dynamics of the climate crisis and the transition to a just and sustainable future.
Energy and Environmental Sciences
The Energy and Environmental Sciences (EES) programme at University of Groningen specializes in energy and is treating it from a natural science perspective. However, it trains the students that the natural sciences/technical approach to and solution of problems is only a part of the story and collaboration with other scientific disciplines is vital.

Environmental Sciences
Are you up to the challenge of finding innovative approaches to improve the state of the environment and sustainable solutions to the (long-term) threats it faces? The Environmental Sciences programme at Wageningen University and Research has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences.

Environment and Society Studies - Local Environmental Change and Sustainable Cities
