Education in Environmental Sciences
- Introduction
- CML’s education programme aims at training (under)graduate and graduate students for integrated and multidisciplinary sustainability research and for better decision making in managing the world’s natural resources, environmental quality and biodiversity. CML acts as the centre for sustainability expertise in education programmes of Leiden University.
- Bachelor program
- In the bachelors curriculum CML offers a general interdisciplinary minor on sustainable development. Staffs of the two research programmes of CML, conservation biology and industrial ecology and staff from other university departments, work together in this minor to offer a comprehensive and analytical view of sustainability issues to students from all faculties.
- Master programmes
- In the Master curriculum CML offers two programs:
- In collaboration with Delft University of Technology (TUD), CML provides an MSc programme in Industrial Ecology. This programme is open to both natural and social scientists, with an adaptation part to bring them to the level of beta-gamma integrated sustainability science.
- Conservation biology education is one of the core themes of the Biology Master track Evolution, Biodiversity and Conservation and provides those interested with the opportunity to specialize in Conservation Biology. This Master track is organised jointly with the Institute of Biology Leiden (IBL), the Dutch National Herbarium (NHN) and Naturalis, prospective partners in the National Centre of Biodiversity (NCB).
- PhD training
- Finally CML participates in national and international PhD training programmes. See the PhD progamme of CML
