About this programme

The International Master of Science in Sustainable and Innovative Natural Resource Management (SINReM) is a two-year Master's of Science programme that educates students to develop sustainable solutions across the entire raw materials value chain. From resource exploration to sustainable extraction processes and the development of more sustainable materials and recycling, students are taught to find new solutions that contribute towards the achievement of a circular economy . The three partner universities bring together a combination of expertise that covers the entire raw materials value chain . We maintain close links with industry partners, providing their insights for the development of a new type of professional whose mission is to bring more sustainability into the raw materials sector. Within the raw materials sector, highly qualified specialists often lack a broader overview of alternative techniques available to make the entire value chain more sustainable, and struggle to look at issues in the value chain from a multidisciplinary perspective . There is a clearly identified need for professionals with a holistic overview of resource management and the latest processing technologies . SINReM provides T-shaped professionals who possess a comprehensive understanding of the entire value chain, along with expertise and insight into specific aspects. These professionals are adept at developing novel technologies, engineering, and reinventing material cycles and the value
