Master's Scholarship: see relevant information here .AboutThe analysis, interpretation and study of the environment is more than just a fad, nowadays; it has become a necessity for multiple productive sectors and economic and social agents. Knowledge and research of an environment that especially affects and conditions the circumstances of life and behavior of people in society and the role and actions of institutions is becoming increasingly important in our society.

The orientation of the Master is adapted to the most modern field of application of these sciences, that is, to the adequate planning and management of environmental issues, characterized by the greater relevance of global environmental problems and by new research topics in the field. .
In summary, this title responds to the following relevant motivations:It is a relatively new and clearly growing scientific field, offering an increasing number of job and research opportunities.
Environmental management is increasingly demanding in terms of knowledge of current legislation and adequate response to environmental policies and programs of public administrations.
There is a wide gap in specialized graduate studies in this environmental issue, especially in relation to its economic, social and human aspects.
