Overview
The purpose of the program is to educate and raise awareness of scientists dealing with economic, environmental and energy issues in electricity costing, environmental management, natural resource management, knowledge of policies related to the environment, climate change and the industrial economics and the impacts of unexpected events and environmental hazards to the environmental sustainability.
The objectives of the MSc include:
- clarification of the basic principles of environmental and natural resource economics
- highlighting the quantitative methods used in environmental modeling
- analysis of the fundamental knowledge regarding the behavioral economics for environmental sustainability
- review the circular economy transition
- the systematic study of the global economic system and its operation, regarding its impacts on the environment and energy efficiency
- Understand the socio-economic and environmental outcomes of an unexpected event or environmental hazard and/or disaster, and gain knowledge in order to predict the high-risk areas, in an attempt to practice Risk Assessment and Risk Management
- Demonstrate sufficient knowledge regarding environmental valuation
- Learn significant approaches and techniques regarding natural resources management, such as water resource management and other renewable and non-renewable resources
- scientific approach to issues related to environmental policy, industrial development policy, climate crisis and climate change future solutions
- highlight the significance of corporations through Corporate Social Responsibility and their contribution to environmental sustainability
- Demonstrate sufficient knowledge regarding the principles, approaches and methodologies used in order to design and elaborate a research project, used not only during the elaboration of their thesis dissertation but also during their career as environmental and energy specialists
By underlining the advantage of multidisciplinarity provided to the students we emphasise to the spherical image of the existing situation. Even when a scientist is focused on one specialization it is important to have fundamental knowledge regarding the general condition that may affect the situation, he/she examines. Our program provides specialization through the optional courses chosen during the second semester, however, the student will gain knowledge from different approaches regarding the economic activities, environmental sustainability, climate change and energy policy. The program focuses on the need to shape economic and environmental scientists with a multidimensional vision consciousness, people who are able to provide solutions to the uncertainty of future prosperity. Cosmos University aims to create a center of excellence in the study and teaching of this complex phenomenon so that graduates gain the necessary knowledge to practice their profession and at the same time be imbued with a high sense of moral responsibility towards individuals and society in general.
In general, the Program, among other things, provides students with the necessary knowledge for the professional and ethical provision of their services as members of the scientific community related to sustainable environmental and energy management.
The programme studies duration is 1½ years (18 months) and to qualify for the «Master in Sustainable Environmental and Energy Management and each student will be required to complete 90 ECTS in total. There are “core” and “elective” courses
- The postgraduate programme, which is considered as «Academic», is provided to students using the distance education methodology.
- The programme is completed within three (3) semesters and each semester corresponds to thirty (30) ECTS per semester. During the first semester of the first year, four (4) courses are offered and the second semester are offered 3 elective courses and one compulsory ( the course «Research Methodology» of 7.5 ECTS each and during the third semester the students are obliged to write a master’s thesis.
