Welcome to MESPOM!
The Erasmus Mundus Masters Course in
Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management (MESPOM) is
operated by a consortium of four
leading European institutions for
environmental research and postgraduate education – the Central
European University
(Hungary), Lund University (coordinating institution, Sweden),
the University of the Aegean
(Greece) and the University of Manchester (UK) . MESPOM is supported by the Erasmus Mundus programme
of the European
Commission.
MESPOM prepares students for
identifying, developing and implementing integrated solutions to environmental
challenges, especially in an international context. It offers a comprehensive
inter- and multi-disciplinary curriculum in environmental studies that
challenges students' ability to integrate theory and practice for systematic
analysis, holistic understanding, and management of diverse environmental issues
in various social contexts. In addition to their academic work, students develop
research, communication and other professional skills, learn to orient
themselves in European and worldwide networks of environmental institutions and
elaborate relevant career objectives and strategies.
The MESPOM study
programme lasts two years. The first year is spent at CEU, Budapest. During
the first half of the 2nd year students can choose to study at Lund or
Manchester. The 4th (research) semester may be hosted by any of the Consortium
partners.
The European
Commission's Erasmus Mundus programme provides scholarships to outstanding students from countries outside
the European Union to attend MESPOM and to scholars to participate in
teaching and research.
All MESPOM
graduates receive Master of Science (MSc) degrees from CEU, Lund University and
the University of Manchester. The arrangements
for MESPOM Masters' degree from the University of the Aegean are currently being
finalized.
ATTENTION: The application deadline
for the 2006-2008 study period is January 6th, 2006
