The main objective of the two-year Master of Science program is to provide graduate students with the in-depth knowledge, critical thinking abilities, methods, and resources they require to adopt an interdisciplinary approach to environmental risks and human security.
The Master’s program examines theoretical and methodological issues in geography to better comprehend the complex genesis of environmental risks and natural disasters, their implications for human-nature relations (vulnerability, resilience, adaptation), and how to deal with them in practice.
Program participants must complete an internship that lasts at least eight weeks. It provides a unique fusion of advanced conceptual and applied interactions on environmental risks and human security in a global context.
