High latitude ecosystems and societies are changing at an accelerated rate. This is due to climate change, more tourism, increasing trans-polar transport and other economic activities. Therefore there is an increasing global need for experts having multidisciplinary training in environmental sciences to help the regions to work towards sustainable development within the framework of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Nordic Master in Environmental Changes at Higher Latitudes (EnCHiL) provides high quality two-year science education at the highest international level and a practical experience within the Arctic region.
The EnCHiL Nordic Master programme offers international and Nordic students unique hands-on experience while addressing these important issues in a multidisciplinary environment and gives them opportunities to work with relevant Arctic topics in the wide network of the EnCHiL partners.
