Brief Details:
Society faces numerous challenges in the coming years stemming from climate change. Minimizing the risks and costs incurred to society through solving such problems can only be achieved through state of the art scientific knowledge, multidisciplinary cooperation, and the implementation of effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change both at home and abroad.
The study admits students with different basic knowledge that will strengthen discussions and output in multidisciplinary teams and set climate challenges within an all-encompassing context (both natural and social sciences). The study will give candidates a broad understanding of the challenges society faces with climate change and the competence to generate knowledge across traditional scientific disciplines.
Candidates will have a solid academic foundation to evaluate, plan, and advise how different societal sectors can implement strategies and action plans to reduce emissions of climate gases and adapt our society to climate change. Students and faculty with international backgrounds will contribute with their knowledge and experiences about climate related problems, and thus such challenges will be seen in a truly global context.

The master program is comprised of 10 courses (1 elective) each worth 10 credits, and a master’s thesis worth 30 credits. In semesters one and two the students gain knowledge about natural and human induced climate change, climate politics nationally and internationally, and how the climate works as an important driver in ecological and geological processes.
This knowledge are used as a basis for courses in semesters two and three where students gain the competence to drive multidisciplinary teamwork and develop strategies and measures to restructure energy production and consumption systems in a more environmentally friendly direction. In the third semester the students obtain knowledge about how society can implement measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and adapt society to climate change. Written and oral presentations, as methods for practice, are a central component of the combined learning objectives for the program.
The program concludes with an independent research project, guided either towards research or applied planning, where the students must demonstrate that they have achieved the defined learning outcomes for the master program.
