Program overview

EnvEuro is a double degree MSc program offered in the frame of the Euroleague for Life Sciences. The EnvEuro MSc program is an international program that spans across Europe and includes students from all over the world; you will most likely encounter many new experiences throughout your two years in the program. The EnvEuro webpage is a great resource to help you get an understanding of the different university structures and general governmental procedures that vary across the countries and universities.

Mandatory mobility within in EnvEuro

EnvEuro is a 2 year double degree Master program with mandatory mobility of 60 ECTS. This which means that you will spend the first two semesters at your home university and the two last semesters a your host university, giving you a truly international experience, and earning you two master degrees instead of one.

Thesis semester

In the EnvEuro program, you will write your thesis (30 ECTS) in the 4^th (and last) semester of the EnvEuro program.
When writing your thesis you follow the regulations at your host university (where you are writing your thesis).

Finding a supervisor and co-supervisor

The EnvEuro program is unusual in that not only is it conducted across two universities in two countries, you will also be required to find a supervisor and a co-supervisor from both your host university and home university. You will select your main supervisor from the host university academic staff and your co-supervisor from the home university academic staff.  Please remember that both the supervisor and the co-supervisor are required in order for you to graduate with the EnvEuro double-degree and it is advisable to start considering potential co-supervisors in your first year while you are studying at your home university. Finally, you will need to have officially selected both your supervisor and co-supervisor by the end of your 3^rd semester
