MASTER’S DEGREE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS, LABOUR AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 

Our Master's Degree in Environmental Economics, Labor, and Sustainable Development is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the economic, social, and environmental sustainability issues through both theoretical knowledge and empirical analysis tools. Aligned with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this program emphasizes the possible coexistence of economic growth and environmental protection, inclusive development, and decent work, as well as the relationship between profits and social welfare at both global and local levels. 

By enrolling in this Master’s program, specifically in the Global Development curriculum, you have the unique opportunity to apply for a DOUBLE DEGREE Program with Gustave Eiffel University in Paris, which offers a master's degree on the same topic. This collaboration expands your educational horizons and enriches your academic experience.

The program covers a wide range of topics, including sustainable development, development policies and projects, innovation policy, international trade and migration, spatial economics, environmental sustainability, management of development programs, and labour rights. 

   This Master’s program is ideal for those who are interested in studying the causes and effects of disparities in development processes and learning how to influence their trajectories.
