Master of Science "Environmental and Resource Economics "

The Master’s programme in Environmental and Resource Economics aims to deepen students’ knowledge after the successful completion of a Bachelor's degree. Over the course of the Environmental and Resource Economics Master of Science programme, taught in English, you will become qualified to accept responsibility for tasks in companies, NGO's, or in senior service, to perform a freelance profession and to conduct autonomous scientific work.

Alongside improving competence in applying analytical methods in the core subjects of environmental and resource economics, microeconomics, economic growth as well as econometrics, the autonomous acquisition and adoption of important research methods during elective lectures and seminars in environmental and resource economics and other fields of economics is also a major focus.

A wide range of specialised courses offered on a regular basis gives students an insight into many areas of economic research arising through cooperation with the  Kiel Institute for the World Economy. A minor subject either in political science (only offered in german language) or in ecology and geography amplifies the scientific focus.
