This track focuses on the management of natural resources, landscapes and ecosystems using interdisciplinary approaches that include the earth sciences, social sciences and the humanities. You will be trained to apply a solution-oriented approach to tackle environmental management challenges for the sustainability of society in either a professional setting or in research.

You’ll start your Master’s with a two-week field work trip in Tenerife, together with students from the Earth System Science track. A great way to get to know your fellow students and teachers and become part of the tight-knit community this Master is known for. 

After the first three to four months of track-specific courses, you get to choose the courses that suit your interests - you can also pursue core courses from the sister track, Environmental Management, should you find that those also align with your academic interests. In this way, you’ll be able to create your own tailor-made programme and specialisation.  

In the second year, you’ll do an internship at a company, governmental or non-governmental organization, in the Netherlands or abroad, where you will do you Master’s thesis research project.
