About the Program

The non-thesis track combines a broad global view on the environment with local and regional references. The program emphasises the significance of multidisciplinary knowledge for tackling environmental problems. The non-thesis track program includes studies in a range of topics such as the climate crisis, environmental policy, alternative energy sources, environmental ethics and justice, plant sciences, water, food, and education. Study of these topics and others will contribute to your ability to promote environmental approaches and policy in your field of work.
 
The program is suited to professionals with an academic degree working in different organisations, including government departments, public and private companies, environmental organisations, and others, who wish to expand their knowledge and acquire a master’s degree in environmental studies; and to all students with an undergraduate degree in any field who are interested in the environment and wish to develop a career in that area.
 
In recent years, awareness of environmental and sustainability challenges is growing, and with it, the demand for outstanding professionals in this complex and vital field. The non-thesis track in environmental studies provides students with a wide range of knowledge and tools that are an asset in the environmental job market. In addition, the program enables students to specialize in specific aspects of the environment – science, law, management, arts, education, etc. - and to use this to facilitate change towards greater sustainability.
