Presentation

“Are you a trained biologist with a keen interest in international affairs? The Masters in Environmental Sciences prepares you to tackle complex research and social issues relating to the integrated management of natural and coastal areas.
The Environmental Management and Coastal Ecology (GEEL) programme enables you to acquire specific knowledge and skills in relation to the sustainable management of anthropised ecosystems.
You will also improve your interpersonal skills, which are useful in the professional world, particularly your ability to listen to specialists in related or complementary disciplines.”
