NARMEE is a two year master’s programme in the areas of sustainable management, planning and design of natural resources, related biogeochemical cycles, landscapes and environments, ecological engineering, and business for sustainability. Building on a sound understanding of fundamental natural and socioeconomic processes and properties of natural resources, NARMEE provides manifold opportunities to specialise in thematic fields such as agro-municipal resource management, ecological engineering and risk management, nature conservation and biodiversity management, global resources and sustainability management, or human dimension and socio-economic aspects of sustainable development.
General objective: The programme intends to qualify the graduates for an international career in the fields of resource management and ecological engineering through studies at two universities with similar profile but different focus on teaching and research. This setting intends to add a global dimension to the learning outcomes of this curriculum.

After completing the programme, NARMEE graduates will qualify for the sustainable management of natural resources and environmental risks in relation to their specialisation areas by integrating technical, economic, ecological, social and cultural skills. Career opportunities:

Within the thematic field covered by NARMEE and the elected specialisations, the graduates of this master curriculum will qualify for employments and entrepreneurship related to the management of natural resources and ecological engineering of environmental risks. Professional fields and types of employment may include:
