The interdisciplinary Master in Environmental Science and Management organized by the Université Catholique de Louvain is designed for students and professionals who have already done a course of study at Master level and who wish to broaden their field to include other disciplines involved in environmental management and sustainable development. The aim of the interdisciplinary Master in Environmental Science and Management is to train future professionals capable  of entering into a dialogue with all the relevant players, of systematically approaching and integrating all the relevant factors and dimensions necessary for sensible management of environmental (scientific, economic, ethical, societal and technical) issues, of developing a coherent overview of how the ecosystem and the sociosystem interact and of harnessing these synergies for practical action.  

The interfaculty nature of the Master means that a significant part of the programme includes courses organized by different partner faculties.  
The programme is structured as follows :

1. students from different backgrounds will follow introductory courses which will enable them to acquire a foundation in disciplines they have not studies before. Students must take all these activities to qualify for the Master degree : exemptions may be given for subjects already studied and previous results. If more than 21 credits are lacking, students will have to complete a preparatory year before they can enter the Master programme.
2. a block of compulsory group activities : 7 credits
3. a professional focus including 30 credits for compulsory activities
4. an option or a block of optional subjects : the option programme must include a  minimum of 15 credits and a maximum of 30. It is possible to select a mixed programme of activities. However, it is compulsory to take at least 15 credits for activities within a single option if this option is to be mentioned in the supplement to the degree certificate. Failing this, there will be no specific reference to a particular option : the supplement will merely list the optional subjects taken.
5. a professional work placement, ideally done outside the university: 30 credits
6. a final piece of individual work (report on the professional work placement) : 15 credits
7. optional activities enabling students to supplement their programme, depending on any exemptions they may have been granted.  

To recap :

1. Core subjects (total : min. 52 credits and max. 75 credits)
   • work placement  (*)     : 30 credits
   • individual final projet (*)     : 15 credits
   • compulsory group activities (*)   :  7 credits
   • basic activities    : 21 credits maximum
   • optional activities    : 15 credits
2. Professional focus  (*)     : 30 credits
3. Option courses or optional subjects :
   • Option course: 15 credits minimum (*) and 30 credits maximum.
   • Optional subjects : 15 credits minimum (*).

(*) Compulsory activities

Each individual programme must always be approved by the programme coordinator.

Although it is open to certain bachelors, the Master in Environmental Science and Management should ideally follow a first Master in human sciences, exact sciences or applied sciences. Its stongly interdisciplinary nature will provide second cycle students who wish to have a professional career in environment with useful additional knowledge in the areas of science and integrated management of environmental issues.
Doctoral programmes : this Master does not specifically lead to a doctorate.

The programme for the Master in Science and Environmental Management includes a group of courses which are designed to provide students with basic knowledge of the different disciplines involved in the management of environmental problems and sustainable development. A significant proportion of the courses are organized by different partner faculties. In this way, courses are given by specialists from each discipline.

The training programme particularly focuses on encouraging students to use their knowledge and skills, through different kinds of individual and group work and also through a large-scale exercise (ENVI 2101, 9 credits) in which students gather evidence about the many different aspects of a real environmental problem they are faced with: they have to become negotiators of technical, soci-economic and institutional solutions between all the involved parties.

Finally, the professional work placement provides a break from academic training, allowing students to put their knowledge and skills into practice to find solutions to real environmental issues.

Examinations for each activity. The precise form is outlined, where necessary, in the relevant course specification.
