The human use of resources is becoming increasingly complex. Any product we consume is the result of multiple global supply chains. A master’s degree in industrial ecology equips you with tools to analyze and discuss core aspects of sustainability: climate mitigation, energy and resource use, circular economy and biodiversity.

An industrial ecologist can works as:

• Sustainability analyst in consultancy, research, public sector and a variety of industries
• Sustainability specialist/advisor, in large companies, municipalities, regulatory agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
• Sustainability manager, in public or private enterprises
