Overzicht

In cooperation with EUCLID (Pôle Universitaire Euclide | Euclid University), an international intergovernmental organization with a university mandate, EULER offers to intergovernmental and national civil servants (as well as select students from the general public) a specialized external degree program called the EULER Online Master in Climate Change (MCC) under the International Relations and Global Development major field. This field of study or specialization covers the full scope of climate-related issues from a policy and education perspective.

It is the only fully online master program in this field organized by an intergovernmental (treaty-based) organization and officially used by diplomats and civil servants over 4 continents. Alumni, students and faculty include current and former ambassadors, minister-counsellors, etc.

Academische Presentatie

EULER's Master in Climate Change Studies and Sustainability represents 40 US credits (120 ECTS) of coursework beyond the Bachelor's. In practice, students may enter the program with a relevant Bachelor's degree, complete 30 to 35 US credits of core doctoral courses, followed by a thesis for 6 credit hours.

The resulting thesis should be a proof-of-competencies for a future PhD application and dissertation.

Focus & Specializations

Among the suggested areas of focus are:

- Climate Change diplomacy
- Climate Change education
- Climate Change and Energy intersection
- Small Islands / Small States issues
- Cosmic Cycle approaches
- International and treaty law
- Sustainable development
- IGOs and non-governmental organizations
- Nation-specific dissertations.

MEER INFORMATIE:

Vereisten

Applicants should have a relevant bachelor’s degree issued by an institution listed in the UNESCO-IAU handbook/database (WHED) or otherwise duly recognized/accredited. Similar or related backgrounds with adequate professional experience may be considered for Government-sponsored applicants (who are already government staff) who may be admitted without the required educational credential if their level of education and experience is deemed sufficient. EUCLID may require these participants to complete bridge courses prior to enrolling in the program. Fluency in English (spoken and written) is required and will be tested. Students are expected to be in a position to dedicate 10 to 15 effective hours of study on a weekly basis.
