A post-graduate study

There are many foreign universities that have Master's Programs and further studies in environmental sciences. I know the University of Humboldt in Berlin has a Master's in Renewable Energies, a friend of mine wants to go to Tel Aviv (Israel) for a degree in political sciences with an environmental approach. Also, there's Paulina Aldunce, a professor of our Faculty who's an agronomist that did a Master's in Sociology afterwards. So there are many options out there and said options aren't restricted to our field as pure engineers, maths and technology.

The one I'm interested the most nowadays is a Master's named Development, Environment and Cultural Change, at the University of Oslo in Norway. I believe those three elements are very tightly together, as poor countries suffer the most with environmental hazards, and a cultural change (such as usage of cleaner technologies) comes along with the technologies and the economic factors that influence development in countries, cities and neighbourhoods. So a Master's blending those three aspects is quite appealing.


Norway as a country also has many things on this area as well. For instance, all of the electricity produced in the country comes from hidropower and bioenergy, and electric cars are very common. And the regulations for house heating are very strict as well, so no energy is released and wasted, but it stays indoors.

And who knows, if luck is on my side and we don't destroy ourselves with a nuclear war first, I'd like to seek a job over there and see what's available.
