About this programme

The interconnection between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is crucial for human well-being. Ecosystems are shaped by human activities, which, in turn, create the prerequisites for human societies to thrive. This Master's programme is exceptional by recognising that effective ecosystem management depends on an in-depth comprehension of ecosystem processes and their connections with social-ecological system dynamics, including the challenges of the ongoing biodiversity and climate crises. The interdisciplinary approach of this Master's programme covers concepts of both fundamental and applied ecology as well as concepts from social sciences, such as governance or participation. Students who pursue this Master's programme will have the tools to comprehend, navigate and influence ecological processes and social-ecological interactions. The Master's programme underscores the significance of both fundamental ecological knowledge and positive social-ecological interactions, such as the development of resilience and ecosystem restoration.
