Why choose Erasmus Mundus for engineering studies?
Study across environmental systems
Join programmes that combine academic depth with applied learning across different European and international contexts.
Multi-country mobility
Access diverse ecosystems, research traditions, and environmental governance approaches across regions and study at partner universities.
Applied and interdisciplinary learning
Learn from an integrated curriculum that combines natural sciences with policy, management, and development perspectives.
Strong research and professional pathways
Develop analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills relevant for work in environmental management, research, policy, and sustainability-focused organisations.

GLOBE - Global Change Ecology and Biodiversity Management
Study locations: Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain), Bangor University (Wales, UK), Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala (Mexico, summer school), Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal).
What makes it unique
Combines ecological research with fieldwork across Europe and Latin America, addressing biodiversity loss and ecosystem change on two continents.
Biodiversity responses to global change
Examine how climate change, land use, and human activity affect ecosystems and biodiversity across different regions.
Intercontinental study experience
Study in Europe and Mexico, learning about conservation challenges across Mediterranean, temperate, and tropical ecosystems.
Field-based learning
Field courses and applied research connect ecological theory with ecosystem monitoring and conservation practice.
Preparation for conservation and policy roles
Prepares you for careers in biodiversity conservation, environmental assessment, and science-informed policy and management roles.
IMSOGLO - International Master in Soils and Global Change
Study locations: Ghent University (Belgium), BOKU University (Austria), University of Göttingen (Germany), Aarhus University (Denmark).
What makes it unique
Focuses on soils as critical to climate regulation, food security, and ecosystem health, combining scientific training with policy applications.
Soil science fundamentals
Study the physical, chemical, and biological processes of soils and their role in climate regulation, food systems, and ecosystem resilience.
Structured specialisation paths
Follow dedicated pathways focusing on soil ecosystem services or soil-plant system processes under globally changing conditions.
Science-to-policy perspective
Build expertise relevant to sustainable land management, environmental assessment, and evidence-based soil governance.
SUFONAMA - Sustainable Forest and Nature Management
Study locations: University of Copenhagen (Denmark), Bangor University (UK), University of Göttingen (Germany), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Sweden), University of Padova (Italy).
What makes it unique
Combines ecological science with forest management practice across five European countries, each with distinct forest types and management traditions.
European forest diversity
Study forest management across different European regions, from Nordic boreal forests to Mediterranean landscapes.
Management under environmental pressure
Examine how climate change and land-use pressures shape forest and natural landscape management.
Professional orientation
Prepares you for roles in forest management, conservation organisations, and environmental planning bodies.
MERGED - Master in Global Environment and Development
Study locations: University of Copenhagen (Denmark), University of Milan (Italy), University of Warsaw (Poland).
What makes it unique
Combines natural and social sciences to examine how environmental change shapes economic development, agriculture, and resource use.
