The Master’s Programme in Human Ecology
combines perspectives on sustainability from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. It gives you an advanced understanding of how humans, societies and environments are interconnected — and examines how power, culture, nature and the economy shape those relationships. 


Drawing on disciplines such as geography, sustainability science, sociology and environmental history, the programme equips you with interdisciplinary tools to analyse and address sustainability challenges from multiple, critical perspectives. 


You will engage with some of the most urgent issues of our time — from climate change and climate justice to ecologically unequal exchange and the shifting of environmental burdens to the world’s most marginalised and vulnerable. 


The programme is designed for you who want to question dominant sustainability discourses and seek new ways to understand and actively transform societies towards social and ecological justice. 


Students and teachers from around the world create a diverse and dynamic learning environment. All teaching is conducted in English and takes place at the Department of Human Geography, in the charming city of Lund.
