Master Environmental Sciences

Environmental scientists take a system-oriented approach. This means that they think and act along interdisciplinary lines and view entire systems from a scientific, sociological and technical perspective. However, environmental sciences are primarily based on natural sciences, which is why we require an appropriate profile when applying.

Environmental offices, public administration, insurance companies, financial institutions and other service providers urgently need specialists and managers who pursue a system-oriented approach. Our graduates are therefore in great demand in Switzerland and internationally to tackle environmental problems at local, regional and international level and to actively shape the future of the world.
