The first year you study at one of the four EnvEuro universities (home university) and the second at one of the others (host university), where you also do your MSc thesis. If you chose SLU as your home university you can choose Copenhagen (Denmark), Hohenheim (Germany) or Vienna (Austria) as your host university.
Within each of the EnvEuro specialisations Water Resources, Soil Resources and Land Use, Ecosystems and Biodiversity and Environmental Management, you select courses at your home university and your host university that prepare you for different future careers; research and further academic studies on one side and management and practical planning and solution in relation to environmental issues on the other side.
All students start the first semester together with a course on Environmental management in Europe. It starts with a week at University of Copenhagen where you meet all students and principal teachers from the four participating universities. Thereafter you go back to your home university and the course continues as an e-learning distance course on part time. Parallel to this you study basic courses (Basic Semester Package). During the following semester you choose courses at the home university within your specialisations (1st Advanced Semester Package). The next semester you go to your host university and continue your specialisation (2nd Advanced Semester Package) and the last semester you do your master thesis. You can get a double degree – both from your home and host university.
It should be noticed that courses within the programme have specific prerequisite and it is not guaranteed that by fulfilling the requirements for the programme that the prerequisites for all courses are fulfilled.
