Students will be encouraged to select thesis subjects related to their home countries, and linked to industries, authorities or organisations active in these countries. For the thesis work, the Institute will encourage and try to facilitate the involvement of advisors active in the countries and organisations in question.

6 MESPOM Study Programme The 2-year (120 ECTS) Masters programme is delivered in English and includes three terms of taught courses followed by a fourth research term. First two terms taught at CEU, comprise mandatory and elective units focused on legal, economic, and political as well as scientific and technological aspects of key environmental challenges and the society-environment interaction. Third term students choose between specialised tracks in either preventive environmental strategies in the public and private sector (at IIIEE) or environmental sciences and pollution control (at the UoM). Both tracks emphasize hands-on research and practical experience in industries, organizations, and laboratories. Fourth term the students conduct their individual research projects and write Masters theses at any of the four Consortium partners. This is normally combined with internships at inter-governmental organizations, government, industry or NGOs in Europe or home countries.
