Climate Studies (MCL) / MSc
MSc Gemeenschappelijk gedeelte
Common Part
RO-1: Depending on your preparatory education, choose 1 course in consultation and agreement with your study adviser. At the study adviser's discretion, the selected course may be exchanged for an advanced course of similar orientation.
RO-2: Choose A, B or C in consultation and agreement with your study adviser.
YMC-60300 is an 'umbrella' code that itself cannot be selected. Instead, choose 3 credits worth of modular skills courses from the list as published in the Study Handbook under YMC-60300.
RO-3: Select 1 internship in consultation with your study adviser. You may exchange the internship for a second thesis if you have (supervised) work experience on an academic level.
Notes:
1. You may apply for the Climate-KIC certificate issued by the European Institute of Technology. This certificate is awarded if you meet specific admission requirements, complete extra-curricular study activities (including a summer school and a series of seminars), and meet specific requirements regarding your major thesis and internship.
2. There is a selective track Sustainable Development Diplomacy linked to the major Environmental Policy (Specialization Climate, Society and Economics).
3. There is a selective research-oriented track.
Ask your study adviser for information.
