In a world facing pressing environmental challenges such as widespread pollution, diminishing biological diversity, ecosystem collapse and desertification, the urgency for climate action has never been more critical. The environmental crisis demands multifaceted responses, affecting economic, political, social, cultural and scientific domains, and necessitating profound transformations across institutions, public policies, societies and the business landscape.

Responding to this imperative, our program is designed to cultivate professionals equipped with a hybrid skill set, rooted in environmental science and a comprehensive understanding of global complexities. By integrating a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science with a focus on sustainability, our curriculum aims to forge paths toward solutions that are not only efficient and effective but also robust, enduring and sustainable.

The Bachelor in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability specifically targets the development of innovative solutions to the world's most pressing environmental problems. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, the program prepares graduates to lead the charge in transforming public policies, business practices, and societal behaviors to better align with ecological imperatives.

To tackle the above challenges, we want to train professionals from both scientific and multidisciplinary backgrounds:

We will train professionals with solid scientific foundations, capable of applying their knowledge in academia, business, civil society organizations, or public policy.

Our project-based methodology will allow them to apply scientific knowledge to projects which address the climate crisis and other complex environmental challenges, considering all of their dimensions: 

Scientific, economic and social. We will give our students the ability and knowledge to understand, analyze and evaluate an ecosystem and propose solutions that move towards recovery and restoration using transdisciplinary approaches to address major environmental global challenges.

Experiential Learning is the process of learning by doing. Our students will have hands-on experiences to better connect theories and knowledge to real-world environmental situations. Our students will have a field trip every semester, laboratory sessions and immersive learning experiences with multimedia material, virtual reality or video games to develop a broader view.

The variety of teaching methodologies will provide you with the skills to manage and lead multidisciplinary teams, empowering you to face future environmental challenges from a science-based and versatile position. You’ll graduate as a professional capable of designing, planning and directing tests and research to evaluate or address environmental issues.

Applying systemic thinking to sustainability allows us to see and better understand the impact of decisions made in the public and private sectors to transform challenges into opportunities and avoid unintended consequences. Through a systemic approach, we seek to empower our students to define relationship models and interdependence between variables, and to design innovative responses that generate positive change.
