Future development and prosperity is largely dependant upon access to energy sources and secure, reliable supplies of natural resources. Exploitation of these resources has an impact on the environment, and the balance between these is becoming a critical factor in the business world where business sustainability is increasingly defined by factors which go beyond the bottom line.
The goal of the MSc in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment programme is to educate the next generation of interdisciplinary managers in the study of energy and natural resource development and environmental impact. Students are specifically taught the range of methods and subjects necessary to understand, advance, and critique important issues stemming from the interaction of humans and the environment.
Through topical clusters and independent projects, the curriculum provides an opportunity to extend and deepen the areas of investigation and understanding to satisfy the intellectual interests of each student. The programme broadly focuses on four main subject areas:
In 2005 and 2006 the Financial Times ranked NHH amongst the top 25 European Masters in Management programmes. Together with our CEMS partners, our CEMS Master's in International Management (MIM) programme was rated second overall in 2006 by the Financial Times, up from third place in 2005. This is an excellent achievement for a small school that aims to benchmark itself against the best in Europe.
All master students at NHH are encouraged to combine their studies with participation in one of the international student exchange programmes, such as the prestigious CEMS network of leading European business schools, that NHH is a member of. The MSc in Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment is no exception, and this means that students have the opportunity to study for a semester in a second European country. Indeed as NHH students may even combine their MSc degree with the CEMS Master's in International Management (MIM) programme, and graduate with two internationally recognised qualifications. This is a great way to turn an MSc in Norway into a truly multi-national experience.
