 September 2002, the Master programme Sustainable Development at Utrecht University will start. This Master
programme offers three different study paths. One of them
is
Energy and Resources, which aims specifically at
energy and material issues and has the ambition of
educating a new generation of experts in the energy field.
The Master programme Energy and Resources focuses on
the analysis of energy and material systems: What do their
production and use look like? How do they develop through
time? What will be future technical possibilities? Emphasis
will be placed on possibilities and impossibilities to influence
developments of energy and material systems. Besides
that, there will be specific courses that aim at gaining
deeper knowledge of natural science, for example in the
field of energy conversions or lifecycle analysis. Moreover,
courses will be offered that will focus on gaining insight in
the context of sustainable development. The course Topical
Matters, for instance, teaches students how to operate on a
high level in an interdisciplinary group in order to solve a
topical, socially relevant problem.
The Master programme of Sustainable Development is
intended for bachelor students with a background in natural
science or technology. The programme will have an
international character and foreign students are welcomed.
The new Master programme concurs with the University's
mission to contribute to sustainable development in the
world and meets the increasing demand for experts in the
field of energy. The programme will be offered by the
Copernicus Institute, which unites scientific research within
Utrecht University on energy and environmental issues. The
study path Energy and Resources will start September
2002. The two other study paths, Land-use, Environment
and Biodiversity and Environmental Policy and
Management will start September 2003.
