One-Year Professional Master’s in
Environmental and Social Sustainability Assessment and Management
What is this program about
As the latest viral pandemic (COVID) shows, our relations with the Environment are not healthy and sustainable ones. Neither at ecological, nor at social levels. This is obvious in our development projects and personal encounters with all things natural.
This unique program aims at changing this situation. It builds capacity for project and organizational professionals in management of the Environmental and Social Sustainability Assessment and Management (ESAM)/Environmental Management System (EMS). We follow international principles and standards relevant to the local context. ESAM is based on an integrated assessment of projects, programs and policy initiatives. It also covers measurement and monitoring management tools contributing to improving the ESAM implementation.
The program provides necessary experience in specific impact assessments (e.g. EIA and SIA, Social Impact Assessment) for building new infrastructure, as well as sustainability management (e.g. Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR and Environmental Management Plan, EMP).
Why should you study this program?
Human development is frequently out of touch with the principles of Sustainability.
