- The master program Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) enables students to contribute towards the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through both research and practice.
- The interdisciplinary study program offers students scientific perspectives to analyse society-nature interactions. While the program has a strong focus on institutional and neoclassical economics, methodology and theory is incorporated from various academic fields of both natural and social sciences, including environmental and political sciences, institutional analysis, and advanced methods.
- International students have ample opportunity for intensive academic exchange and work with scientists from policy- and sustainability-oriented research institutes in the Berlin-Brandenburg region.
