Global Environmental Studies
In collaboration with OsloMet
Forthcoming semesters:
How will climate change affect different parts of the world in different ways? Who is responsible for implementing a green shift – and how will the changes affect local wildlife, or the living conditions of indigenous groups? Can tourism be sustainable? Global environmental studies are about assessing these questions critically, and always with an eye for how policy and theory affect the lives of animals, individuals, and marginalized groups.

About the programme
The study provides an introduction to environmental and climate issues from a societal perspective, with a particular focus on Central America and Costa Rica.
Throughout the semester, one investigates the causes of and potential solutions to various climate and environmental problems, and you learn about different perspectives on the management of natural resources. Excursions and fieldwork constitute an important part of the study.
If you wish to improve your Spanish skills before the study begins, you can choose to participate in a three-week Spanish course prior to the study.
