Environmental issues are complex. A systems perspective is required in order to understand today’s multidisciplinary environmental problems, and to identify both long-term solutions and alternatives.

The Environmental Management and Physical Planning programme focuses on environmental science and physical planning. It provides students with a systems perspective on environmental issues, focusing on planning processes, international and transboundary issues, and practical training in tools such as systems analysis.

Members of the teaching staff are drawn from Stockholm University, KTH and other universities, as well as from authorities, organisations, NGO´s and companies. This programme is important for professions related to national and international environmental management by governmental agencies, municipalities, companies and NGO´s.

Programme Overview:

The programme includes four compulsory courses and up to 30 credits optional courses, allowing students to individually profile their education. The four mandatory courses are:

• Applied Environmental Modelling - provides students with an introduction to system thinking, systems analysis and system dynamics
• Case Studies of Environmental Impact Assessments
• Environmental Management in Planning - investigates the roles of local and regional planning authorities and their work modes
• International Environmental Mangement - focuses on international and transboundary environmental issues
