You will learn analytic tools and practical skills to help formulate policies and strategies for sustainable development. The programme combines interdisciplinary research methods with empirical insights related to a broad range of environmental issues (climate change, biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, food security, pollution, and more).
Student-active learning strategies are emphasised, including excursions, field courses, internships, and dynamic student collaboration. A wide selection of courses will allow you to specialise in topics such as political ecology, sustainable agri-food systems, environmental governance, or green economy. The programme also offers the possibility of study exchange with other universities (global or domestic).
The M-IES programme gives you the opportunity to study in a unique learning environment with an interdisciplinary and international composition of students at a green and beautiful campus. The M-IES programme attracts students from all over the world.
This programme is suited for students who wish to combine academic analysis with real-world knowledge to understand the complex environmental challenges facing the world today.
The M-IES degree is a two-year, full-time English language programme.
Karrieremuligheter
M-IES students develop professional and analytical research competences that employers seek. You will be qualified for employment in a wide range of national and international organizations, including government agencies, education and research institutions, media, business, and non-governmental organisations.
- De fleste studentene utfører forskningen til masteroppgaven i et annet land enn Norge, og mange i land i Sør. I løpet av tredje semester (aug.-sept.) vil studentene delta på et feltkurs (15 stp) for tiden ved samarbeidsinstitusjoner i Tanzania og India. Et faglige opphold ved en institusjon / organisasjon (internship) og / eller utveksling til et partneruniversitet er alternativer til feltkurs.
Masterprogrammet er et toårig fulltidsprogram som består av en basis med obligatoriske emner (30 SP). På basisen velger studentene minst 20 SP i kjernekurs, 40 SP i valgemner og en masteroppgave.
- Undervisningsmetoder i IES-programmet inkluderer forelesninger, problembasert læring, nettstøttet undervisning, gruppearbeid, feltarbeid og seminarer. Det legges stor vekt på kommunikasjonsferdigheter og evnen til å søke etter og evaluere informasjon. Seminarene lærer studentene ferdigheter i analyse, bruk og presentasjon av ideer. Tilbakemelding til studentene med både ros og konstruktiv kritikk er viktig som forberedelse til en virkelig arbeidssituasjon. Case-studier fra gjesteforelesere og lesing av aktuelle forskningsartikler gir studentene et oppdatert læringsmiljø.
- Kursene evalueres gjennom ulike kombinasjoner av avsluttende skriftlige eksamener, semesteroppgaver og muntlige presentasjoner.
- Noragric tilbyr individuelle kurspakker med undervisning i engelsk for utenlandske studenter.
