International MSc Degree 

Integrated Assessment

In response to the need for a more comprehensive education programme in the field of Integrated Assessment, an international Master's program has been established at the University of Osnabrück (Germany) and the University of Twente (Netherlands). Integrated assessment (IA) is commonly defined as the multi-disciplinary process that integrates knowledge about a problem and makes this information available for decision-making processes.

The two-year programme teaches students new approaches to dealing with complex social and environmental problems. Students examine theory and methods with examples from recent case studies and apply these elements to practical projects involving the analysis and management of human-environment-technology systems. Through this comprehensive programme, they develop the skills needed to tackle multi-faceted problems by combining knowledge from diverse scientific disciplines together with public values and beliefs about a problem. The curriculum is based on European-based teaching expertise and practical experience.

Scientists and practitioners in the field of IA are in need of individuals with the knowledge an skills to carry out integrated assessments. Graduates will have excellent opportunities to secure employment in industry, consulting and public authorities in diverse fields such as water management, transportation modelling, and urban planning.
