- Description/content
- The Master's programme in Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) teaches research and practice in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The interdisciplinary study of the interface between society and nature has components from institutional and neoclassical economics. The programme integrates knowledge from different academic fields both in the natural and social sciences, including ecological systems, political sciences, institutional analysis, and advanced research methods, which are all relevant to improved understanding and implementation of natural resource management.
International students will be in close contact with scientists from policy-oriented or sustainability-oriented research institutes in the Berlin-Brandenburg area. The area has a very high concentration of such research institutes and policy-oriented think tanks.
